Overview
This unit builds on your knowledge of anatomy from ORAL11004 Oral Anatomy 1 and supports your study of oral pathology in ORAL11003 Oral Pathology and Diagnosis. In the first half of this unit you will continue the study of anatomy and physiology of the head, neck and oral cavity with an emphasis of the clinical applications of this knowledge. In the second half of this unit you will study embryology and microscopic anatomy of structures within the oral cavity. With this unit you will develop the foundation knowledge required to administer local anaesthesia and conduct an extra-oral and intra-oral examination in oral health therapy practice.

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.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from 'Have Your Say' survey, emails and written feedback following the residential school.
Students enjoyed the small group study sessions at residential school in the anatomy tutorial rooms and benefitted from sharing learning experiences with their peers.
Although the unit will not include an intense two-day residential school in 2020, small group study sessions will be scheduled in weekly tutorial sessions.
Feedback from 'Have Your Say' survey, emails and written feedback following the residential school.
Students felt they could understand the theory learnt in lectures better when they were able to handle the skulls and models and ask questions of the lecturers and tutors.
Tutorials will follow the lecture each week and provide opportunities for students to work collaboratively and ask questions. In addition, a number of laboratory sessions will be scheduled where students can access a wide range of anatomical models and complete practical tasks.
Feedback from 'Have Your Say' survey and emails
Students would like more information and direction on the written examination as there was a lot to learn.
As ORAL11005 and ORAL11004 will undergo unit changes from 2019 to 2020, the final written exams will vary from past exam papers. A discussion on previous exam questions for each topic will be included in each weekly lecture in 2020.
Feedback from 'Have Your Say' survey and emails
Student found the microscopic component of this unit challenging to understand.
Lectures on microscopic anatomy of the oral structures will be followed by tutorials in 2020. These weekly tutorial sessions will provide opportunities for students to ask questions and be tested on their understanding of the lecture content.
- Identify and describe anatomical and radiographic features of the head and neck with particular relevance to dental anaesthesia and patient examination
- Describe anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity with emphasis on innervation of oral structures, spread of infection, function of the temporomandibular joint and salivary glands
- Describe the embryological development of the teeth and oral cavity, and the microscopic anatomy of oral structures
- Demonstrate appropriate oral and written communication skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviours as required of an Oral Health Therapist.
The learning outcomes of this unit are part of the overall learning outcomes in the BOralHlth course at CQUniversity. They will form part of the annual report documentation which is submitted to the Australian Dental Council for accreditation.

1 Online Quiz(zes)
An understanding of the anatomy of the oral cavity, head and neck and the dentitions is essential for the Oral Health Therapist in clinical practice. To develop this knowledge and understanding it is necessary to become familiar with terminology used in the study of dental morphology and head and neck anatomy. Knowledge of terminology and important concepts will be assessed in both on-line quizzes.
There will be two separate on-line quizzes to assess your knowledge. Questions include matching and multiple-choice questions.
The number of questions and weighting for each quiz is outlined below.
You are allowed two attempts on each quiz, although it is not compulsory to attempt a second time. The attempt in which you achieve the highest score will be recorded as your final score. Your attempts will be submitted automatically, but no more questions can be answered once the time limit expires.
There is a minimum mark required. You must achieve 50% of the cumulative score of both quizzes.
No attempts are allowed after the quiz is closed. If you are unable to complete the quiz by the due date, you must apply for an extension before the due date.
The first quiz opens Thursday 30th July 8.00am and closes Thursday 13th August 5.00pm. This quiz tests learning material in weeks 1-4. There are 40 questions (maximum). The time limit expires after 25 minutes. You are allowed two attempts. This quiz is worth 10%.
The second quiz opens Thursday 17th September 8.00am and closes Thursday 1st October 5.00pm. This quiz tests learning material in weeks 5-10. There are 60 questions (maximum). The time limit expires after 40minutes. You are allowed two attempts. This quiz is worth 15%.

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.
