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.
