Description

An introduction to the structure of the human musculo-skeletal and peripheral nervous systems as a foundation for assessing the impact of damage that result in impaired function in daily activities.

Non Standard Timetable Requirements

Students will be required to attend practical labs at the Joondalup Campus for this unit.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Determine the effects on function of deficits in the human neuro-musculo-skeletal systems.
  2. Explain the actions and functions of the human musculo-skeletal and peripheral systems.
  3. Explain the actions and functions of the surface anatomy of the head, trunk, lower and upper extremities.
  4. Identify and describe the structure of the human musculo-skeletal and peripheral nervous systems.
  5. Identify and describe the surface anatomy of the head, trunk, lower and upper extremities.

Unit Content

  1. Assessing the impact of damage that results in impaired function.
  2. Introduction to anatomical terminology, examples of the structure of tissues.
  3. Structural and functional features of the skeletal, articular, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
  4. Structure and function of the peripheral nervous system.

Additional Learning Experience Information

Lectures and laboratories.

Assessment

GS1 GRADING SCHEMA 1 Used for standard coursework units

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant Board of Examiners.
