Description for 2022/23

This module introduces students to the structural organisation of the human body and enables students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and basic pathological processes of the human axial skeletal and respiratory system with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.

Aims
This module introduces students to the structural organisation of the human body and enables students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and basic pathological processes of the human axial skeleton, respiratory system and cellular structure and with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Demonstrate knowledge of appropriate biological science underpinning the study of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human body: 1
Describe the physiology of the bony axial skeleton and its associated joints: 1
Describe the common pathological processes affecting the human body including radiation effects: 1
Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the normal anatomy of the bony skeleton and its associated joints including radiographic appearances: 1

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 100%
In situ online examination - 75mins
The examination will be a combination of: MCQs (20 x 1 mark each, choose one answer from 4 options) Matching pairs (2 x 6 marks) and labelling bony structures (6 questions x 8 marks each) - total 80 marks Examination is required to be in-situ in the Jack Ashley Digital Health Hub or the Darwin Suite as the examination uses highly specialised monitors with high resolution since the images that are used are of reporting quality to show subtle pathologies as seen in the clinical environment in cross-sectional and plain radiography.

Please note that for the 2022/23 Academic Year programmes may be adapted to operate in accordance with a flexible, digital approach. This means that there may be some changes made to how modules are delivered and assessed. The latest information will be provided to you by your School in module handbooks. We endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes and details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/student-terms-and-conditions/
