Faculty of Health and Medicine School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy

10 Units 1000 Level Course

Available in 2014

Ourimbah	Semester 1

Previously offered in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007

Provides an introduction to the functional anatomy of the human body with emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, peripheral vasculature and major nerve trunks. This course contributes to the broad biomedical science foundation required for health graduates. In addition, it provides a firm basis for later courses in advanced anatomy.

Objectives

At the completion of this course students will have an understanding of the functional anatomy of the human musculoskeletal system including major nerve and vascular trunks:
1. Anatomical terminology and the skeleton
2. Upper limb musculature, joint structure, vasculature and innervation
3. Lower limb, musculature, joint structure, vasculature and innervation
4. Axial musculature
5. General anatomy of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis.
