Description for 2023/24

The Anatomy, Physiology and Movement Science - Musculoskeletal (MSK) module introduces students to the normal anatomy and physiology of the human musculoskeletal and other body systems and provides a basic introduction to movement science. The module offers the student the opportunity to gain underpinning anatomy, physiology and movement science knowledge.



Aims
To introduce the normal anatomy and physiology of the human body, focusing on the musculoskeletal system.
To provide a basic introduction to movement science in the healthy adult (musculoskeletal).
To introduce terminology associated with movement science (musculoskeletal).

Intended Learning Outcomes

describe the anatomy and physiology of the human musculoskeletal system: 1,2
explain the relevance and role of physiological measurements in the musculoskeletal and other body systems: 2
describe, in outline the anatomy and function of other body systems e.g. the digestive, immune and endocrine systems: 1,2
recognise and begin to analyse normal anatomical presentation and physiological function in the musculoskeletal system utilising the principles of movement science: 1,2

Study hours

40 tutor led hours which may include lectures, practical classes and workshops, seminars, tutorials and two hours of assessment preparation classes etc.
110 hours of independent study.

School Rules

None

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 40%
