    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body
    • Physiology is the study of how body functions in good health
    • Pathology is the study of diseases
    • This module will focus on the anatomy and physiology of the human body but will make comparisons to other vertebrates
    • The module is a systems approach to the body
    • Focuses on how the body works in health not disease
    • Explores how functional requirements drive the structure of the body and how the structure enables functional capabilities
    • Most biology degrees will contain trigger warnings

    Schedule

    • Autumn Semester
      • Week 1 Introduction to anatomy
      • Week 2/3 Introduction to physiology
      • Weeks 4/5/7 Cardiovascular System
      • Week 6 Mid semester week
      • Week 8/9 Respiratory System
      • Weeks 10/11 Urinary System
    • Spring Semester
      • Week 1/2/3 Introduction to digestive system
      • Week 4 Mid-semester week
      • Week 5/6/7 Introduction to musculoskeletal system
      • Weeks 8/9/10 Introduction to the nervous system
      • Week 11/12 Revision session and completion of assessment

    Assessments

    • 20 credit module taught over 2 semesters, covers anatomy and physiology of different systems
    • Weekly in-person lectures with optional learning activities
    • Regular in-person seminars to apply theory and common biological calculations
    • 3 practicals per semester, attendance is compulsory and linked to the assessments

    Assessment Details

    • Exam: Summer examination (closed book, MCQs and single best answer questions) 70% of overall module mark
    • Coursework: Two summative Blackboard tests (1/semester) each linked to a practical class (15% each)
    • Coursework assessments: Each practical is linked to an online Blackboard test (two formative and one summative), two summative Blackboard tests each worth 15% of final mark
    • Attendance at practicals is compulsory. Non-attendance will result in zero marks or a penalty applied. Late arrivals are not allowed into the class and a mark-penalty will be applied.

    Attendance

    • Students who engage with their studies generally perform better than those who don't
    • 36% of students had to resit an assessment in 2023-24
    • Low attenders scored on average 12% lower than high attenders

    Study Time

    • Each 10 credit module = 100 hours of study
    • Each semester = 100 hours of A&P study
    • Lectures: 17 hours
    • Seminars: 3 hours
    • Practicals: 6 hours

    • Communication
    • Intake and elimination
    • Protection and survival

    Communication

    • Receiving, collating and responding to information
      • Transport systems
      • Internal Communication
      • External Communication

    Transport Systems

    • Blood
    • Cardiovascular System
    • Lymphatic System

    Internal Communication

    • Nervous system – rapid system
    • Endocrine system – slower more precise system

    External Communication

    • Special senses
    • Sight, hearing, balance, smell, taste
    • Verbal communication (speech)
      • air passing over vocal cords
    • Non-verbal communication
      • Posture and movement

    Special Senses (EENT)

    • Vision
    • Hearing
    • Olfaction
    • Equilibrium
    • Gustation

    Verbal Communication (speech)

    • Sound is produced in the larynx
    • Expired air passes over the vocal cords and vibrates
    • Muscles in the throat, cheeks and movement of the tongue and jaw form speech

    Non-Verbal Communication

    • 7 Universal facial expressions:
      • Fear
      • Sadness
      • Contempt
      • Joy
      • Disgust
      • Surprise
      • Anger
