Overview

This course will help you identify the positions of organs within the abdomen and will introduce you to common anatomical terminology.

You will look at the anterior (front) abdominal wall, exploring how the ‘abs’ are considered in relation to health and beauty. You’ll then move on to look at the composition of the gastrointestinal tract. Focussing on common problems that can occur in this tract, you’ll hear from an abdominal surgeon about the work he does to treat and cure such problems.

This course has been ranked as one of the best online courses of all time by online course aggregator class central.

This course is part of the Going to University collection which has been specifically designed for students at schools and colleges. They provide a taster of undergraduate study at the University of Leeds and help students to decide which subject to study at university.

Completion of the courses will also enhance students’ university applications.

The courses can also be used as a teachers’ classroom enrichment resource.

Courses in this collection are also great for people that want an introduction in the specific subjects discussed in each course.

    This class is a real treat for any curious learner. It is an inspiration to learn more about human physiology and biological sciences.

    I loved the class, which is very short, but still, covers important detail about human anatomy in simple language. Activities are interesting and most importantly, learners taking this class are amazingly curious! I truly enjoyed this class and would recommend it to anyone curious enough to learn about human anatomy! Great to start with learning about the abdomen and our GI tract. Truly an excellent class for everyone!

    The course was really easy to follow. I did think it was going to cover the entire adominal cavity, hence the reason I gave it a four star rating. Had I known it would not included e.g. positions of all the organs, connections between the organs, that is, if I'd been prepared for its limited information, I would have given it a five. It was very well presented. I particularly liked the video at the start where people on the street were asked where they thought the organs were in the abdomen and the way they were shown where they actually were. It was not condescending, but informative. The quizzes were good too.
    Wish they'd had a female dummy as I've never seen one used in anatomy classes.

    Excellent course, I have started several online courses and often lost motivation part way through. This one was short enough to maintain my interest throughout but with enough information to make it worth doing and for me to feel that I have consolidated and increased my knowledge of the areas covered. It has also motivated me to look for other similarly structured courses to continue my learning. My thanks to Leeds University for running it.

    Excellent intro. Answered many questions I've wondered about regarding G.I. tract and what happens in my body when I eat. Great visuals and clear descriptions of abdominal organs and processes. Instructor and guests brilliant and able to articulate complex subject matter in an engaging and accessible manner. Thank you so much.

    This course was well structured and presented. I found the information was easy to understand but still having a quality level that was not compromised. The tutor also brought in a surgeon and a pathologist who added another dimension to the general presentation.
    I recommend this course .

    very good and clear presentation. The graphics, colour coded, were very helpful in identifying the various parts of abdomen. Up to this course, I admit to have taken the abdomen for granted. This short course is totally informative. I learned such a lot. I recommend it.

    A little too basic. The list of words was sadly lacking and the prof asked if we noticed any missing to please make a note ... I added lots, but never got any response. No questions answered. And lots of references made quickly and without further...

    Very easy for newbies like me to understand. I respectfully recommend this. The details in each stage and the tests at the end of each section were thrilling to know that indeed knowledge is being imparted into you. Kudos.

    Thank you for making an excellent course. The lectures were very clear and easy to understand. Using a human model and a moulage to illustrate the organs and body parts were extremely helpful.

    This is a good cause if you’re not sure of the anatomy of the abdominal area. The lecturer explained things well and I love the video presentation. I found week 2 very interesting.

    Very interesting and good, but too short for functions and other details. The teacher is good and explains clearly the subjects.
