ANAT 471 Human Embryology Units: 3.00
In ANAT 471, students work individually/collaboratively to explore stages of normal human embryonic and fetal development and how changes in underlying mechanisms link to common congenital or developmental abnormalities. Various assessments include quizzes, a journal club, a PBL investigating a developmental abnormality, a midterm and final exam.
Learning Hours: 120 (48 Online Activity, 72 Private Study)
Requirements: Prerequisite Level 3 or above and one of ([ANAT 100 and ANAT 380] or [ANAT 101 and ANAT 380] or [ANAT 215 and ANAT 216] or [ANAT 315 and ANAT 316]).
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Health Sciences
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Apply knowledge from course content and external peer-reviewed literature to predict the functional sequelae of abnormal physiological development as well as linking the condition to medical interventions.
- Critically develop and appraise questions and concepts related to gaps in contemporary embryological knowledge to create a cogent research proposal
- Identify and describe the embryological development of tissues, organs and systems as well as how changes in the process can be linked to abnormal physiological development.
