Available to any students with an interest in anatomy and physiology, excluding Nursing
Science
This subject will provide an overview of body organisation and introduce important
concepts and principles of anatomy and physiology as relevant for Sports and Exercise
Science students. This includes an introduction to cells and tissues, the nervous
system and the function and relationships of bone, muscle and joints. A detailed study
of the gross anatomical structure and functional anatomy of the upper body will then
be undertaken. An integrated understanding of the human body will be achieved with
practical sessions, including the study of human cadaveric material, and functional
case-studies will facilitate the integration of material and the correlation of structure
to function.
Learning Outcomes
- To gain a detailed understanding of the principles of the musculoskeletal system including
a detailed study of the upper body and thorax;
- To gain a basic understanding of the structure and function of the respiratory and
cardiovascular systems;
- To provide a basis for subsequent applied studies requiring a knowledge of human anatomy
and physiology;
- To gain an understanding of overall body structure, organisation and function from
the sub-cellular to the organ level.
