    200-level subjects
    300-level subjects

The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology offers three streams of subjects: Cell and Developmental Biology; Neuroscience and Human Anatomy. These streams cover various aspects of the scientific study of normal organisms, cell biology, developmental biology and neuroscience. At the 200-level, the microscopic structure of cells, structure of tissues and organs, human embryology, cell biology and the anatomy of the human body can be studied.

At the 300-level, more specialised subjects deal with current approaches and concepts in cell and developmental biology, the study of the structure, development and function of the nervous system and advanced studies in human, functional and applied anatomy.

Subjects in each of the streams are coordinated with appropriate subjects in other Departments.
