Comprehend: the terminology of anatomy; the principles relating to each of the following types of anatomical structures: skin, fascia and skeletal muscles; bones and joints; viscera; vessels and nerves; the subdivision of the human body into regions; the essential information relating to specific anatomical structures (which form the boundaries and contents of the regions); the applications relating directly to clinically important areas of anatomy; the anatomical structures observed and palpated in practical diagnostic procedures; the surface markings of clinically important structures, on normal living bodies; the naked-eye appearance of cut-sections of normal viscera; the appearance of the human body in section at important levels; the appearance of normal structures on radiographs.

Have developed: observational and organisational skills to identify and interpret: exposed anatomical structures and regions, surface markings on normal living bodies, the naked-eye appearance of cut sections of normal viscera, cross-sections of the body at important levels, normal structures on radiographs; communication skills (written and oral) to describe the normal structure of the body; skills in the manipulation of anatomical structures (with dissecting instruments).

Appreciate: the range of normality of the living human body (i. e. normal variation) due to age, sex and body build, and the effects of posture, phase of respiration and pregnancy; the common occurrence of anomalies (i. e. anatomical variation) which differ from 'text-book descriptions' of the typical case; the importance of one's own observations (e. g. as seen in the historical development of anatomy as a science).
