Course Description
This is the first of two courses designed to provide "foundation" knowledge in anatomy and physiology deemed necessary for discipline-specific courses in Medical Radiations (BP148), Health & Physical Education (BP041), Exercise and Sport Science (BP296) an Laboratory Medicine (BP147).
In broad terms the course covers:
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
The student should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the structure, function, and interdependence of the systems studied and a basic understanding of cell and tissue structure and function. This course prepares the student for further study of anatomy and physiology as presented in a second semester course as well as later year discipline-specific courses.
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcome for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Medical Radiations (BP148):
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcome for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Health and Physical Education (BP041):
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcome for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Exercise and Sport Science (BP296):
On successful completion of this course you should be able to:
Overview of Learning Activities
Though the primary method of presentation will be lectures, you will be involved in active learning in practical sessions in the anatomy laboratory with "hands on" experience using a variety of media (models, wet specimens, plastinated specimens) with help provided by teaching staff.
Much of the learning in the anatomy component of this course will take place in "Self-directed learning" mode during which you will work in the anatomy laboratory and/or anatomy museum to consolidate the material covered each week in staff-guided practical sessions.
Online quizzes will be provided to allow self-testing and gauge progress.
Online materials associated with the prescribed text will also be available for clarification and self-testing.
There will be 5 hours per week allocated to formal face-to-face study (lectures and practical settings).In addition, there will be optional “open” laboratory sessions available (SDS: self-directed-study) for revision. The estimated mean hourly study load for this subject beyond the assigned lectures and lab sessions is ~5 hours per week (including at least 1 hour of SDS laboratory work).
