Synopsis
Students will learn the principles of human biology and genetics, and the chemical, cellular and tissue organization of the human body. In addition, they will develop an understanding of the gross anatomical structure of the appendicular skeleton together with their radiographic appearances.
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
- Connect how the biochemistry of molecules are integral in cellular functions
- Describe the physiological processes of cells, in particular membrane transport and genetic inheritance and group cells into 4 tissue types
- Relate anatomical terminology and osteology to the appendicular skeleton
- Discuss the soft tissues and bony structures that comprise the upper limb and how these structures enable the upper limb to function
- Discuss the soft tissues and bony structures that comprise the lower limb and how these structures enable the lower limb to function
- Recognise and describe the radiographic appearances of the upper and lower limbs and apply this knowledge to radiographic positioning for the upper and lower limbs
Assessment
- Laboratory portfolio requiring team work activities (25%)
- Image Recognition test (1 hour) (15%)
