Aims of Module
To provide students with an advanced theoretical and practical base for critically analysing the structure and function of the main anatomical components of the human body.
Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
| 1. |
Critically explain the plane and axes of motion for any human movement.
|
| 2. |
Critically analyse the classification and structure of upper limb, lower limb, head and trunk joints in relation to the available movements.
|
| 3. |
Extensively explain the structure and function of the different cells and tissues of the human body.
|
| 4. |
Critically explain the structure and function of the major systems of the human body.
|
| 5. |
Critically relate the arrangement of individual muscles to movements and function.
