The unit aims to enable students to make progress towards meeting some of the learning outcomes described in Outcomes for Graduates (2018) relevant to 'The Doctor as a Scholar and Scientist' and 'The Doctor as a Professional'. The specific aim is to enable students to develop an understanding of the human body as a cellular system, classify its tissues as epithelial, connective, muscular or nervous, identify several examples of each, explain their embryological derivation, apply a knowledge of histological and anatomical structure to predict function, and state examples of the cellular basis of disease.
