Module Aims
To familiarise the student with the language of anatomy and to specifically establish the students’ knowledge and understanding of human anatomy as an underpinning subject of exercise physiology and biomechanics.
To give an overview of the major physiological systems including; musculo-skeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Content Summary
Students should be aware they may encounter ethical issues in learning and teaching while undertaking this module and should refer to the module handbook for further information.
The anatomical position; overview of bone, joint and muscle structure; axes, planes and definitions of joint motions; bones, joints and muscles of the axial skeleton; and, bones, joints and muscles of the appendicular skeleton.
The motor neuron, the synapse and transmission of the nerve impulse. Muscle excitation and contraction and properties of muscle fibres.
The basic structure and function of the cardio vascular system, with special reference to blood flow.
The structure and function of respiratory system and breathing dynamics
This module includes mandatory formative assessment activities, to support students learning and development prior to summative assessment tasks.
