Offered

Clayton First semester 2007 (Day)
Clayton Term 2 2007 (Day)

Synopsis

The abdominal wall, peritoneal membranes, development of the gut. Surface anatomy. Gross and radiographic anatomy, histology, nerve and blood supply, pathological processes associated with the gastrointestinal, endocrine and reproductive systems. Physiology of digestion and reproduction. Radiographic pathology. Gross anatomy, radiographic anatomy, histology, nerve and blood supply of the urinary system. Renal physiology and pathology.

Objectives

At the successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. demonstrate an understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology associated with the gastrointestinal, urinary, hepato-biliary, endocrine and reproduction systems;
2. demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of nutrition and metabolism and the way in which the body regulates its temperature;
3. identify the surface landmarks associated with the organs comprising gastrointestinal, urinary, hepato-biliary, endocrine and reproductive systems;
4. identify and describe the radiographic representation of the structure and function of the organs comprising gastrointestinal, urinary, hepato-biliiary, endocrine and reproductive systems;
5. identify and describe the radiographic appearances of common disorders affecting the gastrointestinal, urinary, hepato-biliary, endocrine and reproductive systems; and
6. appreciate the significance of the anatomical and pathophysiological principles associated with the gastrointestinal, urinary, hepato-biliary, endocrine and reproductive systems for diagnostic imaging procedures.
