CHIR12004 - Neuromusculoskeletal Anatomy 1

General Information

Unit Synopsis

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.

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).

Assessment Overview

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 Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Online Quiz(zes) 15%
2. Practical Assessment 35%
3. Online Test 50%

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%).

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.

Source: Verbal Feedback
Feedback
Students would appreciate more realistic anatomical models or resources to help better understand and learn the content in this unit.
Recommendation
It is recommended the discipline explore opportunities to access improved teaching resources for this unit.
Action Taken
The learning and educational materials offered to students in 2024 aimed to present real anatomical specimens as much as possible. In addition, virtual reality Anatomy table - Anatomage table - was introduced to the tutorials.
Source: Verbal Feedback
Feedback
Students would appreciate the opportunity to visit a cadaveric lab to see the anatomical structures.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the new UC explore opportunities to schedule annual visits to cadaveric labs.
Action Taken
Students in 2024 were offered the opportunity to attend a cadaveric lab to reinforce their knowledge of anatomy.
Source: SUTE
Feedback
Some students felt they would benefit from more case studies in the practical tutorials
Recommendation
It is recommended that more case studies be implemented in the practical tutorials.
Action Taken
In Progress
Source: SUTE
Feedback

Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Explain the embryologic processes that underpin anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology of the human body.
  2. Describe the osteology, arthrology, myology, arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage and innervation of the limbs and trunk.
  3. Identify on bones, models, images and the living subject, the structures forming the limbs and trunk.
  4. Describe the actions of the muscles, individually and collectively, of the limbs and trunk.
  5. Apply your knowledge of anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology to clinical case studies.
