Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items

As a result of the Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may find that learning activities and/or assessment items in some units you are studying have changed. These changes will not be updated in the published Unit Outline but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. The new learning activities and/or assessment items will continue to meet the unit's learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

New learning activities and/or assessment items are available on your unit's UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Please contact your Unit Convener with any questions.

Syllabus

This unit is designed to provide students with an overview of regional anatomy, body systems and their functions to ensure a suitable basis for their future studies. It covers in depth anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Special attention is given to the terminology used to describe human movement and a thorough knowledge of the bony landmarks, joints, muscle attachments and blood supply along with detailed actions of specific muscles and muscle groups. The unit studies the basic structure and function of the major body systems such as skeletal, muscular, nervous and special senses. Commencing with an overview of body tissues and homeostasis. Emphasis will be placed on the inter-connection and relationship between structure and function at every level of organisation.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Define and correctly use anatomical and physiological terminology;

2. Recognise and describe the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the following body systems: cells and connective tissue, skeletal (bone tissue and ossification), muscular, nervous, and special senses;

3. Explain and interpret how the above systems function and interact with each other and the rest of the body to maintain homeostasis;

4. Identify bony landmarks, ligaments, tendons, muscles and blood supply of the lower limb, pelvic girdle, trunk, head, neck, upper limb and pectoral girdle; and

5. List actions elicited by muscles at the joints in the lower limb, pelvic girdle, trunk, neck, upper limb and pectoral girdle.
