Overview
This unit builds on the basic anatomy taught in Human Body Systems 1 and 2. You will further develop your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, which will include studies in gross anatomy, embryology and histology, clinical and living anatomy. You will integrate this, where appropriate, with other basic sciences. An emphasis will be placed on clinical anatomy of the limbs and trunk.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: BMSC11001 Human Body Systems 1 & BMSC11002 Human Body Systems 2
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2017
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

1 Online Quiz(zes)
There will be three online quizzes administered via Moodle. Each will be available for approximately 1 week. There will be no extension due to unforeseen technical problems or Internet connectivity, so please do not leave it to to the end of the week to do it. Each online quiz will be based on the material covered in lectures, tutorials and practical classes in the weeks as outlined below. Students will be allowed one attempt only for each online quiz, which must be completed within the allotted time.
- Online Quiz 1 covers anatomy of the upper limb (i.e. material form Weeks 1-5) and is worth 7.5%
- Online Quiz 2 covers anatomy of the lower limb (i.e. material form Weeks 6-9) and is worth 7.5%
- Online Quiz 3 covers anatomy of the trunk wall (i.e. material form Weeks 10-11) and is worth 5%

Other
Online quiz 1 is due by April 15, 18.00; Quiz 2 by May 15, 18.00 and Quiz 3 by June 3rd, 18.00.
Results with feedback for each online quiz will be released immediately after their respective due dates.
As each question in the quizzes are objective in style (e.g. multiple choice), answers will be automatically marked as either correct or incorrect. Some questions will require you to demonstrate a knowledge of facts, while others will require the use of interpretive or analytical skills.
- Explain the embryologic processes that underpin anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology of the human body.
- Describe the osteology, arthrology, myology, arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage and innervation of the limbs and trunk.
- Describe the actions of the muscles, individually and collectively, of the limbs and trunk.
- Apply your knowledge of anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology to clinical case studies.
- Communication
- Problem Solving
- Information Literacy
- Information Technology Competence
2 Practical Assessment
This will be based on the material covered in lectures, practical classes and assigned homework from Weeks 1-11. Students will be required to identify anatomical structures on models and images, and answer brief theoretical questions regarding the identified anatomical structures. All answers will be written down on a purpose-made answer-sheet. The assessment will take approximately one hour.
Students will rotate through a number of stations, each of which will focus on a specific body region.
More details will be available on this subject's Moodle site.
The test will be conducted during your designated practical class in week 12.
Marks will be available within 1 week of the exam.
Marks will be allocated based on:
1. Accuracy of the answer
2. Specificity of the answer (eg head of radius, NOT radius nor head)
3. Spelling accuracy: Either Australian, UK or USA spelling will be acceptable. If spelling is not completely correct, but is phonetically correct, you will receive 75% of the allocated mark for that question.
For example, consider a question worth 1 mark, for which the answer is scaphoid. However, you spell it scaphoyd or scafoid. You will be given 0.75 marks, rather than 1.0 mark.
- Identify on bones, models, images and the living subject, the structures forming the limbs and trunk.
- Describe the actions of the muscles, individually and collectively, of the limbs and trunk.
- Communication
- Problem Solving
- Information Literacy

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
