Welcome to MEDSCI 142 -
Biology for Biomedical Science: Organ Systems. This course
is co-ordinated by Peter Riordan and Angela Tsai in the Department of Anatomy,
Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.
In 2012, the number of students wishing to attend this course will exceed the places
available. The information on this page is to inform you about our enrolment policy
and to help you enrol smoothly.
Course
guide
The MEDSCI 142 course guide contains all lecture and laboratory notes required
for this course. Course guides will be available for collection during the week
prior to the commencement of the second semester, 2012. Information about
collecting guides will be e-mailed to enrolled students at this time.
Textbook
The prescribed text is Tortora & Derrickson "Principles of Anatomy and Physiology"
13th edition. Lecturers assume that all students will have access to a copy. It
is a good text and will be useful in later years of all biomedical courses (this
text is also used in the 1st semester course, BIOSCI 107). Where a particular topic
is well covered in the text, then only brief notes will be provided in the
Course Guide. Information in the text and course guide will not be duplicated on Cecil. Page references
in the Guide will be to the 13th edition, but students who buy an earlier edition
second-hand will find it quite satisfactory.
