Overview
This unit builds on the basic anatomy taught in Human Body Systems 1 and 2. You will further develop your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, which will include studies in gross anatomy, embryology and histology, clinical and living anatomy. You will integrate this, where appropriate, with other basic sciences. An emphasis will be placed on clinical anatomy of the limbs and trunk.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: BMSC11001 Human Body Systems 1 or BMSC11010 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 AND BMSC11002 Human Body Systems 2 or BMSC11011 Human Anatomy and Physiology 2.
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability.

Offerings For Term 1 - 2024
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

1 Online Quiz(zes)
The purpose of the online quizzes is to challenge your knowledge and understanding of the content as you progress through the unit.
- Three online quizzes will assess your knowledge of the unit material.
- Quiz 1: available on Monday of the week 5. It will assess the contents taught from weeks 1-4.
- Quiz 2: available on Monday of the week 8. It will assess the contents taught between weeks 5-7.
- Quiz 3: available on Monday of the week 12. It will assess contents taught between weeks 8-11.
- You will be allowed one attempt at each quiz.
- Your score from each quiz will contribute 5% to your final grade (3 quizzes x 5% = 15%).
- Without an approved extension, there will be no opportunity to complete the task after the assigned date.

More details will be available on this unit's Moodle site.
Week 12 Friday (31 May 2024) 5:00 pm AEST
It will be available on week 12 from Tuesday 8am to Friday 5pm
Review/Exam Week Friday (7 June 2024)
Marks will be available within 2 weeks of completion.
Marks will be allocated based on:
1. Accuracy of the answer
- Identify on bones, models, images and the living subject, the structures forming the limbs and trunk.
- Describe the actions of the muscles, individually and collectively, of the limbs and trunk.
- Communication

3 Online Test
This will be based on the material covered in lectures, practical classes and quizzes from weeks 1-11. Students will be given a variety of question types, including short answers, diagram labelling, fill-in-the-missing descriptions, and clinical case scenarios. This final test will be invigilated. This means you will complete the test in an assigned computer lab on campus.
Please make sure you use correct spelling, as only British and American English spelling are accepted.
More details will be available on this unit's Moodle site.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
