Description for 2024/25

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 skeletal and respiratory system with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.

Aims
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, respiratory system and cellular structure and with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.
