The Jigsaw Of Man


Group Description :
The purpose of the course is to show from a cellular point of view how the human body is structured, how it works under normal conditions and what happens when things go wrong. The course will endeavour to explain structure and function of all the organs in the body and how they relate to each other. To this end numerous photomicrographs will be shown illustrating all aspects of the body. It will suit people who have been on the History of Medicine course or who have any interest in science. The course will be presented on Powerpoint and much of it will be pictorial. It has been designed to hopefully entertain as well as provide you with helpful information Each session is limited to one hour because the course is detailed and I think that one and half hours would be too much to take in. The course is of necessity littered with scientific language but I will do my best to ensure that everything is clearly explained. To give you a flavour of what session titles to expect, here are several; The Cell, The Blood, Connective Tissue, Muscle, The Nervous System, The Respiratory System The Reproductive System and so on. It would be an advantage if those interested had access to a computer as the notes can be sent direct. The reason for this is that the notes contain a considerable amount of coloured illustrations which would be costly to print out on a multiple basis. The length of the course will be approximately 11 weeks.
