10 Units 2000 Level Course

Available in 2014

Callaghan Campus	Semester 1

Previously offered in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005

The course consists of a series of lectures and laboratories on the functional anatomy of the nervous system, thorax, abdomen and pelvis. Areas emphasised are those most important in Medical Radiation Science and Physiotherapy practice.

Objectives

Students are not required to become experts in Anatomy but they must understand the functional anatomy of brain, chest and abdominal structures. Finally, students should understand the morphological, functional and pathological basis for imaging of the major organ systems of the body.

Students should be able to do the following for major organs in the head, chest and abdomen:

1. Describe its structure (Gross Anatomy and Histology).
2. Describe its relationship to other organs and its surface anatomy.
3. Describe its blood supply, venous and lymphatic drainage.
4. Understand how the organ's structure relates to its function, i.e. its physiology.

Content

1. Introduction to the nervous system, its development and the relevant anatomy of the skull and vertebral column
2. Face,temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and neck
3. Surface features, meninges, vasculature and ventricular system of the brain
4. Cerebral cortex, and deep nuclei of the brain
5. Brainstem and cranial nerves

7. Spinal cord organisation and the autonomic nervous system
8. Spinal cord motor and sensory pathways,including pain pathways
9. Chest wall, breathing mechanics and mediastinal divisions
10.Heart structure,including pericardium, blood supply and conducting system
11.Pleural cavities and the lungs, including pulmonary circulation
12.Lung lobes and bronchopulmonary segments
13.Neck and upper respiratory tract (pharynx, larynx and sinuses)
14.Structure, surface anatomy and imaging of major organs of the abdomen
15.Blood supply, innervation, venous and lymphatic drainage of the gut
