Unit description Unit description
This is the second of two on line units that build upon the basic anatomy taught in undergraduate medical programs. The gross anatomy of the human body is revised with an emphasis on clinically oriented and applied anatomy through full body dissection. Discussion of relevant embryology is also included. The unit is delivered via the university iLearn platform and activities are set for students to complete, with follow up quizzes that allow formative self assessment. Topic areas covered include; the anatomy of the central nervous system, thorax, abdomen and pelvis. Anatomy 2 is designed to prepare students for the level of anatomical knowledge required for the intensive whole body dissection unit Anatomy 3.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  • Describe the structural components of the central nervous system, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, their nerve and blood supply, venous and lymph drainage.
  • Apply knowledge of the anatomy of the central nervous system, thorax, abdomen and pelvis to interpret radiographic, CT and MRI images.
  • Integrate knowledge of the anatomy and anatomical relationships of the structures of the head neck and trunk in order to accurately and systematically describe their surface projections and application to clinical practice.
  • Analyse the structural components of the central and peripheral nervous systems, cranial nerves and autonomic nervous system to interpret the effect of damage to each of the component of the nervous system and predict outcomes after injury.

General Assessment Information

It is required that students complete all assessment tasks to be eligible to enroll in MEDI838, Anatomy 3 intensive unit.

Assessment task 1

Online quizzes are designed to help students chart their own progress. The students are required to complete 80% of online activities to be awarded 40% of the final mark for this unit.

Assessment task 2

For this task students must complete online spot tests style assessment, where they will be asked to identify anatomical structure, give its nerve or blood supply. The assessment will be posted on iLearn in week 11.

Assessment task 3

For this assessment task students have to provide five annotated drawings of the regions of the body studied in this unit. All annotated drawings must be submitted by week 12.

Delivery and Resources

You will build up your anatomical competencies around several key learning outcomes within this online unit.

Use materials and resources provided on iLearn, access third party online information and read relevant chapters in prescribed books. To facilitate this process online quizzes and embedded questions are used as a tool for self-evaluation and self-direction throughout.
