Uniben Anatomy Undergraduate Syllabus



The science of Anatomy is the study of the form and structure of the living body and the organs, which form it. It also entails the regulations of these structures in relation to their functions and external environment.  The science of human anatomy forms the foundation of the science of medicine and other human biological studies. It is a field of study, which is still dependent on technique, and a corpus of observations but it is capable of correlation with other fields of study in the science of medicine and human biology.
