Anatomy & Neuroanatomy Fundamentals for Speech Pathologists
ANAT1002 focuses on the anatomy of the brain, head, neck and thorax with particular emphasis on the structures involved in speech, swallowing, vision and hearing, including the nervous system (brainstem, cortical areas, sensory-motor systems, cranial nerves and blood circulation). The course provides an introduction to anatomical terminology that is applied through examination of normal structure and function of the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Functional aspects involving communication and swallowing will be discussed throughout lectures, and tutorials formats. Attendance to lectures and tutorials activities is highly encouraged but is not mandatory to pass the course.
Course requirements
Assumed background
An introductory-level background in elementary biology, including cellular structure and function, anatomy and/or neurobiology is recommended to make the most out of this course. Check UQx free online courses Specialised Cells and Tissue Biology to get you up to speed, particularly relevant for students without high-school biology.
Recommended companion or co-requisite courses
We recommend completing the following courses at the same time:
Students without high-school Biology are encouraged to revise basic cell biology to maximise their learning experience e.g. Specialised Cells and Tissue Biology

Aims and outcomes
ANAT1002 focuses on the anatomy of the brain, head, neck and thorax with particular emphasis on the structures involved in speech, swallowing, vision and hearing, including the nervous system (brainstem, cortical areas, sensory-motor systems, cranial nerves and blood circulation). The course provides an introduction to anatomical terminology that is applied through examination of normal structure and function of the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Functional aspects involving communication and swallowing in health and disease will be discussed and addressed throughout lectures and practical formats.
Practical classes conducted in the Gross Anatomy Facility (GAF) in the Otto Hirschfeld Building (#81), St Lucia Campus use human cadaveric specimens. Students unable to fully participate for medical, personal or religious reasons, should discuss their situation with the Course Coordinator prior to enrolment.
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing this course you should be able to:
LO1.
Describe the main anatomy and neuroanatomy of the head, neck and thorax involved in human communication and swallowing.
LO2.
Identify the brain areas and cranial nerves involved in human communication and swallowing.
LO3.
Explain the relationship between structure and function of sensory and effector systems involved in communication and swallowing, including their main deficits in humans.
LO4.
Recognise the clinical presentation of individuals with communication and swallowing disorders, including techniques can be utilised for diagnosis and intervention.
LO5.
Apply knowledge of anatomy and neuroanatomy to the describe the clinical presentation of individuals with communication and swallowing disorders.
LO6.
Understand ethical issues associated with the use of human cadaver material.

Students will take 20min online quizzes through Blackboard, following the completion of each module. Each quiz will be accessible for 24 hours. Further assessment details will be provided on Blackboard during the semester.
This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students are advised that the use of AI technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Submission guidelines
Access the quizzes via the course Blackboard (https://learn.uq.edu.au) Assessments folder.
We recommend that you do not use the Blackboard Phone App nor a wireless network connection when completing this Blackboard assessment. Both are unstable and could affect your ability to complete your Blackboard assessment, by for example:
- you may lose connectivity and lose the work you have completed;
- your submission could indicate you have completed your assessment task, but nothing has been delivered into BlackBoard.
Please ensure that you only use a reliable internet connection
Deferral or extension
You may be able to apply for an extension.
The maximum extension allowed is 14 days. Extensions are given in multiples of 24 hours.
Requests must be made prior to the submission deadline, even if you are awaiting your supporting documentation. Late requests for extension will not be accepted for consideration unless you provide evidence of exceptional circumstances preventing you from submitting a request prior to the deadline, e.g., due to hospitalisation.
