In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.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. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2025
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.

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.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
Some students felt they would benefit from more case studies in the practical tutorials
It is recommended that more case studies be implemented in the practical tutorials.
Feedback from SUTE
Some students suggested they would benefit from more revision questions.
It is recommended that more review questions, such as formative weekly quizzes, be implemented using similar question styles pertinent to the final test.
- Explain the embryologic processes that underpin anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology of the human body.
- Describe the osteology, arthrology, myology, arterial supply, venous and lymphatic drainage and innervation of the limbs and trunk.
- 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.
- Apply your knowledge of anatomy, neuroanatomy and physiology to clinical case studies.
