Structures of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems will be examined.
This systemic anatomy course provides students with an opportunity to develop an understanding of the interdependence of structure and function of human anatomy at the level of:
- tissues
- organs
- organ systems
This course covers the main structure, function and arrangement of the primary organ systems of the body: skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive,ﾠurinary and reproductive systems.
Gross Anatomy Facility (GAF):
Students will acquire experience in the handling and examination of human cadaveric specimens.
Practical classes are 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 gifts of altruistic donors which demands a respectful behaviour and professional attitude of students and staff at all times (see Learning Resources for compulsory training and relevant acts and policy documents). Students should note that it is a requirement under Queensland law to conduct themselves appropriately 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 a quiet, 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), 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.

Aims and outcomes
This course aims to enable you to:
- ACQUIRE ANATOMICAL FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE: Recognise 'normal' human systemic anatomy and integrate anatomical form with function.
- ACQUIRE & APPLY ANATOMICAL UNDERSTANDING: Understand that the interdependence of anatomical structure and function provides a basis for clinical problem-solving.
- ACQUIRE & DEMONSTRATE AWARENESS OF REGULATIONS & ETHICSﾠIN THE STUDY OF HUMAN ANATOMY: Demonstrate an awareness of ethical issues and respect for both living and deceased humans in the context of an anatomical laboratory, and regulations required inﾠthe study of human anatomy.
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing this course you should be able to:
LO1.
ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY: Communicate effectively using correct anatomical terminology.
LO2.
ANATOMICAL IDENTIFICATION: Identify the principal components, relevant anatomical features and relationships of each of the major human organ systems on real human anatomical (cadaveric) specimens.
LO3.
ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE: Describe the structure of the cells, tissues and organs that constitute each major human organ system.
LO4.
ANATOMICAL RELATIONSHIPS: Summarise the relationships between the various organ systems.
LO5.
ANATOMICAL ORGAN FUNCTION: Define the principal function/s of each major human organ system.
LO6.
FORM-FUNCTION INTERDEPENDENCE: Apply the concept of interdependent 'form and function' to illustrate how the structure of an organ system accomplishes its functions.
LO7.
STRUCTURAL & FUNCTIONAL CHANGE: Demonstrate the ability to predict some functional deficits that may occur as a result of altered structure.

- Quiz 1: Skeletal system (worth 2.5%)
- Quiz 2: Muscular system (worth 2.5%)
- Quiz 3: Nervous system (worth 2.5%)
- Quiz 4: Visceral systems (worth 2.5%)

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.
The maximum extension allowed is 14 days. Extensions are given in multiples of 24 hours.
Extensions are limited to 14 days to encourage immediate engagement with course material and to support effective and timely learning.
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.
If you have been granted an extension, then the assessment specified late submission penalty in the table above will apply to submissions made after the due date of the approved extension.
Late submission
No late submissions are permitted.

MODULE 1 - SKELETAL SYSTEM (Osteology & Arthrology) [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. |
