This subject builds on the content introduced in BM1051 Anatomy and Physiology for
Speech Pathology 1. This subject will comprise a detailed study of the central nervous
system. Students will study the structure of the human brain and spinal cord and the
neural pathways underlying sensory, motor and cognitive functions. Students will be
given the opportunity to develop an integrated understanding of the brain through
practical sessions, including the study of human cadaveric material and functional
and clinical case-studies to facilitate the integration of material and the correlation
to practice.
Learning Outcomes
- To identify and describe the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the
cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems;
- To discuss the embryology of the nervous system and how it relates to adult structure
of the spinal cord, cerebrum, diencephalon and brainstem;
- To identify and describe the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the
motor, sensory and autonomic nervous systems;
- To describe the position of the cranial nerve nuclei and the paths taken by ascending
and descending nerve tracts;
- To critically apply anatomical and physiological knowledge to a human bioscience discipline.
