For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and Student Equity and Disability Support: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/disability

This subject comprises two modules: Chemistry and Functional Anatomy (consisting of anatomy, embryology and histology), which cover the structure, organisation and development of the human body at both macroscopic and microscopic levels.

On completion of this subject the student should:

(1) Comprehend:
a) the elementary theory of chemical bonding in organic molecules;
b) the stereochemistry of simple organic molecules and its application to the understanding of the relationship between molecular shape and biological activity;
c) the nature of:
• biologically important molecules and their functions;
• chemical equilibrium, particularly acid-base chemistry;
d) the chemistry of:
• polymers, metals and inorganic solids, particularly in a dental context;
• redox processes;
e) the role of transition metals in life processes;
f) the principles of anatomy, histology and embryology, particularly those which are most pertinent to modern dentistry; and
g) the clinical anatomy and development of the vertebral column, thorax and neck.

(2) Have Developed:
a) basic laboratory skills such as observation and analytical techniques
b) basic knowledge about the safe handling and disposal of chemicals and other laboratory materials used in practical classes; and
c) the ability to comprehend and critically analyse scientific concepts and principles.

Three 2-hour written examinations at the end of the semester; one 30-minute practical test during the semester, one 30-minute practical examination at the end of the semester, continuing assessment tests and continuing practical work.
