ANATOMY OF LOWER LIMB & TRUNK

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

In this subject the anatomical principles and terminology introduced in HBS1HBB will be applied to the detailed study of the anatomy of the back, lower limb and thorax. The concept of integrated function of multiple body systems will be developed in each region. Teaching will include both online learning and face-to-face teaching sessions including practical classes involving cadaver materials and surface anatomy. You will be required to work together in small groups to take responsibility for your own learning and understanding of anatomy so that you are able to identify anatomical structure and function on a living body as you would in a clinical context.

Subject intended learning outcomes

On successful completion you will be able to:

Apply relevant anatomical principles to describe normal structure and function of body systems within the vertebral column, including its role in support and posture.

Apply relevant anatomical principles to describe normal structure and function of body systems within the lower limb, including its role in support, locomotion and posture.

Apply relevant anatomical principles to describe normal structure and function of body systems in the thoracic region, including its role in respiration and circulation.

Apply observational and communication skills, using appropriate medical terminology, to make accurate observations of anatomical structures or events and infer their relationship to function using cadaveric material, the living body or medical imaging in a laboratory environment.
