Syllabus: | Available only to medical imaging students. An introduction to anatomical studies, based upon an understanding of cells, tissues, organs and systems, with an emphasis on functional rationale for structure. Development, structure and function of the skeletal system, joint classification, structure and function of joints and the muscular system. Structure and function of the muscular system of the body and an introduction to the nervous system. |

Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will have - Explained basic concepts of the organisation of the human body. Communicated ideas effectively using correct anatomical terminology. Described the four basic tissue types of the body. Explained why bone is characterised as a connective tissue. Explained the process of ossification in long bones and flat bones. Listed the functions of the skeletal system and provide illustrative examples. Described the musculoskeletal system in detail, with an emphasis on skeletal anatomy. Outlined the classification of joints, and provide examples of joints in each category. Predicted the actions of muscles based upon their structural aspects and attachments. Described the structure of basic cellular organelles,including the cell membrane and the nucleus. Predicted the effect of certain solutions on cells by calculating the osmolarity of the solution in which they are suspended. |
