BIOS1169: Advanced Musculoskeletal Human Anatomy
This unit of study examines the detailed gross, radiological and surface anatomy of the lower limb, trunk and neck. Included are the anatomical analyses of functional activities which involve the lower limb, back and neck. Material will be presented in lectures as well as in practical and tutorial sessions on-campus or online. Students are also expected to undertake independent learning. Practical classes involve the study of human cadavers. Attendance at the practical and tutorial sessions is compulsory.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Identify and classify bones of the pelvis, lower limb, back, thoracic cage, neck and head and identify and deduce the functions of major bone markings in these regions.
- LO2. Identify, classify and state/deduce the open and closed kinetic chain motions available at the joints of the pelvis, lower limb, back, thoracic cage and neck.
- LO3. Identify and deduce the functions of the ligaments of the joints of the pelvis, lower limb, back, thoracic cage and neck including the high cervical joints.
- LO4. Identify, describe the attachments and deduce the actions and functions of the muscles and related fascial structures of the pelvis, lower limb, back, thoracic cage and neck.
- LO5. Relate surface and radiological anatomy to the gross anatomy of the pelvis, lower limb, back, thoracic cage, neck and posterior head.
- LO6. Relate the gross musculoskeletal anatomy to functional activities involving the pelvis, lower limb, back, thoracic cage and neck.
- LO7. Identify the components of the nerve plexuses for the lower limb and the neck and their branches in the lower limb and neck.
- LO8. State the motor and sensory distribution of the spinal and peripheral nerves to the lower limb, back, thoracic cage and neck.
- LO9. Differentiate between peripheral and spinal nerve lesions of the lower limb.
- LO10. Identify and state the supply and drainage of the major blood vessels of the lower limb.
