Unit Overview

Description

This unit examines the central, peripheral and visceral nervous systems of humans. Higher cortical function, motor control, memory, emotion, motivation and homeostasis are explored.

ANHB2217 aims to give students a thorough understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology which form the foundations of neuroscience. Content will be delivered by active learning lectures and exploring cadaveric material and clinical images in the dissection laboratory.

Outcomes

Students are able to (1) identify, describe and distinguish structures in the central,peripheral brain structure poster,intra-semester examination, final examperipheral and visceral nervous systems.; (2) incorporate neuroanatomy and basic physiology concepts to understand higher cortical function, motor control and homeostasis.; and (3) apply their knowledge to understand the anatomical basis of common neuropathologies..

Assessment

Indicative assessments in this unit are as follows: (1) brain structure poster; (2) intra-semester examination; and (3) final exam. Further information is available in the unit outline.



Student may be offered supplementary assessment in this unit if they meet the eligibility criteria.

  • The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of publication but may be subject to change.
  • All students are responsible for identifying when they need assistance to improve their academic learning, research, English language and numeracy skills; seeking out the services and resources available to help them; and applying what they learn. Students are encouraged to register for free online support through GETSmart; to help themselves to the extensive range of resources on UWA's STUDYSmarter website; and to participate in WRITESmart and (ma+hs)Smart drop-ins and workshops.
  • Visit the Essential Textbooks website to see if any textbooks are required for this Unit. The website is updated regularly so content may change. Students are recommended to purchase Essential Textbooks, but a limited number of copies of all Essential Textbooks are held in the Library in print, and as an ebook where possible. Recommended readings for the unit can be accessed in Unit Readings directly through the Learning Management System (LMS).
  • Contact hours provide an indication of the type and extent of in-class activities this unit may contain. The total amount of student work (including contact hours, assessment time, and self-study) will approximate 150 hours per 6 credit points.
