ANAT SC 2402 - Anatomy of Upper Limb, Head & Neurosciences

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2023

In this course the anatomical principles and terminology introduced in Biosciences for Human Health B and extended in Anatomy of Lower Limb & Trunk will be applied to the detailed study of the anatomy of the upper limb, the head and neck, and to the study of neurosciences. The concept of integrated function of multiple body systems will be developed in each region and relevant medical imaging techniques and clinical assessment skills will be incorporated. The course will be delivered via a blended learning model and will comprise a mix of lectures, on-line activities, practical sessions using prosected cadavers and other anatomical materials and clinical anatomy practical classes covering surface anatomy and clinical applications.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    1 Describe and define the normal structure and function of neurovascular structures and muscular as well as connective tissue systems within the upper limb, and relate this to the upper limb function.
    2 Describe and discuss the normal structure and function of neurovascular structures and muscular as well as connective tissue systems within the head and neck, and relate this to its role in housing visceral structures, special sense organs and the central nervous system.
    3 Describe normal structure and function of the central nervous system, and discuss its role in sensation and movement.
    4 Use appropriate medical terminology, to accurately describe anatomical structures or events and infer their relationship to function.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    A standard week consists of a one hour lecture, completion of additional online content such as talks and lectures and accessing tasks provided in the "Work Area". This, as the required activity prior to a  practical session, typically using prosected cadavers and other anatomical models and a workshop class where the weekly topics are discussed and associated to pathologies or diseases. Students need to complete pre-practical activities before as a condition of entry to the weekly practical classes to ensure adequate preparation using the on-line content.

    The following content will be covered in this course:

    • Shoulder Girdle and Shoulder Joint
    • Elbow, Forearm and Hands
    • Vasculature and Innervation Upper Limb
    • Head and Neck - Craniovertebral Joints and Muscles Posterior Neck
    • Head and Neck - Viscera of the Neck
    • Skull, Muscles of Face and Mastication, Temporomandibular Joint
    • Blood Supply to the Head, Meninges, CSF and Introduction to Nerves
    • CNS: Brain and Spinal Cord
    • CNS: Brainstem and Cranial Nerves
    • CNS: Auditory and Vestibular System, Vision
    • CNS: Basal Ganglia and Verebellum
    • Motor and Sensory Systems - Intergration
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    Lectures: 12 x 1 hours = 12 hours
    Workshops: 12 x 1 hours = 12 hours
    Practicals: 12 x 1 hours = 12 hours
    Examination: 1 x 2 hours = 2 hours

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Hurdle Requirement
    (Yes or No)
    Learning Outcome
    Examination Summative 40% No 1, 2, 3, 4
    Continuous Assessment Summative 40% No 1, 2, 3, 4
    Assignment Summative 20% No 1, 2, 3
    Assessment Detail
    Examination (40%):
    Written Component (40%): Students will complete a written examination during the University Examination period in which they will be required to complete about 50 questions in formats similar to the continuous assessments. The questions will assess student knowledge of both theoretical and practical aspects of the content delivered over the course of the semester.

    Assignment (20%):  The assignment tests the ability of students to work on a topic in small groups and show understanding of the topic and the ability to disseminate knowledge. Groups of 4-5 students prepare videos supported by a power point presentation. The videos should prioritise and explain surface anatomy where possible. There are 4-5 topics to choose from. The videos have a length of 10 min maximum.The students should outline the topic, connect it to its anatomical foundation and relate it to patients. It's about good and correct presentation of content that demonstrates the ability of students to use acquired knowledge and put it into context. 

    Continuous Assessment (40%):
    The continuous assessment consist of weekly quizzes that consist of about 10 multiple-choice or short answer questions. The quizzes can be accessed from Friday to Sunday and once started students have 30 min to finish the assessment. The question reflect the depth of knowledge expected and the style of questions provided in the final exam. Question require knowledge about structure and function and the ability to recognise key elements in-situ and in models.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
