| Summary | A sound knowledge of human skeletal and dental anatomy is fundamental to the accurate anatomical identification of bones as well as the understanding of the biological factors involved in ageing and disease. Basic skeletal and dental anatomy will be taught within the framework of the study of other systems of the human body. The biology of bone, the development of the skeleton from its earliest embryonic stage through to its adult form and the normal skeletal variation that occurs between individuals will also be taught. |
