Study Notes
Module Information
- Module code: PHTY146
- Module title: An Introduction to the Human Central Nervous System
- Lecturer: Emily Grant
- Email: [email protected]
- Year: 2025
Module Aims
- Develop anatomical and physiological understanding of the human nervous system's structure and function.
- Develop assessment skills for the nervous system.
- Primary focus is on sensorimotor function (sensation and movement).
Nervous System Overview
- The peripheral nervous system (PNS) carries information to and from the central nervous system (CNS).
- Sensory neurons transmit information from sense organs and internal organs to the CNS.
- Motor neurons transmit signals from the CNS to muscles and glands (voluntary and involuntary control).
Autonomic Nervous System
- Regulates internal environment.
- Sympathetic division: prepares the body for emergencies.
- Parasympathetic division: regulates the body in non-emergency situations.
Nervous System Pathology
- Covers potential pathologies of the nervous system.
- Includes vascular, infectious, traumatic, genetic, degenerative, metabolic, and mitochondrial causes.
- Discusses associated problems such as muscle weakness, sensory disturbance, abnormal muscle tone, and vestibular/visual dysfunction.
- Describes secondary problems like soft tissue shortening, joint mal-alignment, balance deficits.
- Emphasises functional limitations like reduced mobility, exercise tolerance, independence, occupational performance, and quality of life.
- Includes relevant links to videos.
Module Focus
- Develop anatomical and physiological knowledge of the human nervous system.
- Develop assessment skills of the nervous system.
- Level 4 (certificate level) = knowledge and comprehension.
- Knowledge of normal anatomy and physiology underpins pathology, and rehab (year 2).
Module Assessment
- 90-minute unseen examination: Multiple-choice and short-answer questions.
- Pass mark: 40%
- Paper consists of 30 multiple choice questions (MEQs) and 3 short answer questions (SAQs).
- Examination is scheduled in Semester 2.
- Exam covers the entire syllabus.
- Resit opportunity in August.
Module Structure
- Weekly 90-minute contact session (Thursdays, 9:00-10:30 or 11:00-12:30).
- Topics introduced weekly, building on previous learning.
- Discussion-based tutorials.
- Task sheets focusing on learning outcomes and case-based learning.
- Pre-recorded mini-lectures (around 20 minutes) for preparation.
- Formative assessment using two timetabled sessions and additional MCQ practice.
Resources & Reading
- Recommended texts are included (Neuroanatomy, Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience, Tortora's Principles of Anatomy and Physiology).
- Links to YouTube videos are provided.
- Human Anatomy Resource Centre (HARC) and Anatomy.tv are listed as potential resources.
