Description for 2025/26

This module introduces you to the structural organisation of the human body and enables you to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and basic pathological processes of the human axial skeletal and respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems alongside basic neuroanatomy with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.

This module introduces students to the structural organisation of the human body and enables students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and basic pathological processes of the human axial skeleton, neuroanatomy, respiratory and cardiovascular system and cellular structure and with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.
