Integrated course in systematic gross anatomy basic to further study in field of human movement. Introduction to musculoskeletal system, neuroanatomy & all visceral systems.
ANAT1005 provides students with an opportunity to develop an understanding ofﾠthe interdependence ofﾠstructure and function in human:
- tissues
- organs
- organ systems
This course covers the main structure, function and arrangement of the primary organ systems of the body: skeletal, muscular,ﾠnervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive,ﾠurinary and reproductive systems.
Gross Anatomy Facility (GAF):
Students will acquire experience in theﾠhandling and examinationﾠof human cadaveric specimens.
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.
Of special note:
- The study of real human anatomy depends on the altruistic gifts of donors and demands a respectful behaviour and professional attitude of students and staff at all times (see Learning Resources (Required) for compulsory training and relevant acts and policy documents). Students should note that it is a requirement under Queensland law to appropriately conduct themselves when examining human cadaveric specimens. The Transplantation and Anatomy Act, 1974 (Qld), s34 (2) states that: "A person who performs an anatomical examination upon a body shall do so in aﾠquiet, orderly and decentﾠmanner." A failure to comply with this rule of the Anatomy Act may be regarded as a criminal offence under part s236 (b) of the Criminal Code Act, 1899 (Qld) which states "A person improperly or indecently interferes with, or offers any indignity to, any dead human body or human remains, whether buried or not...is liable to imprisonment...". Any such breaches may be referred to, or prosecuted by, the police.
- As per the SBMS Code of Conduct for Use of Human Tissues (see Learning Resources (Required)), personal electronic devices including mobile phones, cameras, tablets and other recording devices, must not be used anywhere in the GAF, and they cannot be carried on your person (even in the off position) beyond the bag rack areas. Use of the cadavers for entertainment, profit, and/or other personal purposes is strictly prohibited. Unauthorised photography, electronic imaging, and/or postings on social media that compromise donor confidentiality or discuss dissecting room protocol are banned.ﾠSevere penalties apply for breach of these rules, including expulsion from the University.

WARNING - ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY AT UQ:
Note that this is an individual closed-book assessment task and must be completed by each individual student (NOT by multiple students working together with others as a group activity). If detected it will be investigated. Similarly, you must not distribute the questions or answers to other students by any means such as text or email.
Students should also answer the questions from their own knowledge of the material, and not by looking up textbooks, course notes or online sources, so that each student receives genuine feedback on how well they are personally mastering the course content. Students must always submit their own work for all assessment tasks, to do otherwise is counterproductive.
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
We recommend that you do not use the Blackboard Phone App nor a wireless network connection when completing this assessment. Both are unstable and could affect your ability to complete your 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.
Requests for extension 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.
Late submission
No late submissions permitted.

MODULE 1 - SKELETAL SYSTEM (Osteology & Arthrology) [Stephan & Glen] WEEKS 1-4 This module introduces the student to the study of bones (osteology) and joints (arthrology), and examines the structure and function of the tissues, organs and anatomy of the skeletal system. As the skeleton forms the framework of the human body, this module also familiarises the student with general structure, arrangement and movements of the body. A detailed understanding of the structure and function of the bones and joints, and organisation of the skeletal system is particularly important foundational knowledge for learning the muscular system in the next module, since the muscles are attached to these skeletal structures and drive their movements about these joints. |

MODULE 2 - MUSCULAR SYSTEM (Myology) [Glen] WEEKS 4-8 This module introduces the student to the study of muscles (myology), and comprehensively examines the structure and function most of the of the tissues, organs and anatomy of the muscular system. As the muscular system drives and coordinates the movement and orientation of the body, and assists the skeleton in support and protection, this module also further familiarises the student with the general structure, arrangement and movements of the body, as well as develops an understanding of how these movements are caused and coordinated. A detailed knowledge of the attachment and arrangement of the muscles relative to the bones and joints of the skeleton (covered in the previous module) is important foundational knowledge for understanding how muscles and groups of muscles generate and coordinate movement and orientation of the body. |

MODULE 3 - NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS [Stephan] WEEKS 9-10 This module introduces the student to the study of the nervous system (neurology) and endocrine system (endocrinology) from an anatomical perspective, and examines the structure and function of the tissues, organs and anatomy of these two systems. Students will learn that both systems are involved in sending signals from one part of the body to another (and also interact with each other): the nervous system can send extremely fast and precisely targeted electrochemical signals from one end of the body to the other; whereas the endocrine system generally broadcasts chemical signals through fluids of the body that trigger responses in tissues sensitive to them. This knowledge is foundational for the understanding of how the anatomy of the nervous system' relates to its role in the coordination and processing of sensory input, coordination of movement of the musculoskeletal system, and its signalling to key physiological rates and states; and understanding how the anatomical arrangement of endocrine organs relate to their function. |

MODULE 4 - VISCERAL SYSTEMS [Glen] WEEKS 11-13 This module introduces the student to the study of the visceral systems (splanchnology) which includes the cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems, and examines the structure and function of the tissues, organs and anatomy of these. "Viscera" refers to the soft internal organs housed centrally in the body, but note that the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems include vessels that branch out into the extremities. The student will learn how the anatomy of these organs relate to their function. |
