Unit description
Integrates the basic biomedical sciences (functional and clinical anatomy, biomechanics, tissue mechanics, histology and embryology) in preparation for the acquisition of clinical patient assessment skills of the trunk, vertebral column and the pelvic girdle.
Unit content
Topic 1: Introduction to histology
Topic 2: Introduction to embryological development
Topic 3: Basic biomechanics of tissues
Topic 4: Clinical anatomy of the regions
Topic 5: Functional anatomy of the regions
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | demonstrate knowledge of advanced clinical anatomy of the trunk, vertebral column and the pelvic girdle regions. |
| 2 | demonstrate knowledge of advanced functional anatomy of the trunk, vertebral column and the pelvic girdle regions. |
| 3 | demonstrate a basic knowledge of embryological development and microscopic anatomy of the trunk, vertebral column and the pelvic girdle regions. |
| 4 | describe the general mechanical properties of biological tissues, and the kinematics of human movement of thetrunk, vertebral column and the pelvic girdle regions. |
| 5 | explain the functional relationship of anatomical features and biomechanics of the lumbo-pelvic and lower limb regions |
