BMS101: Introduction to the Human Body

This unit is designed to introduce students to the living human body. It begins with the evolution and development of humans and proceeds to functional study of each of the major body systems, with reference to the life cycle from conception to death. It will deal with concepts of disease and ageing from an evolutionary perspective. The unit will emphasise how human systems compare with those of other animals, and introduce students to current advances in medical science and technology.
