Course description
ANAT7002 focusses on the anatomy of the brain, head, neck and thorax with particular emphasis on the structures involved in speech, swallowing, vision and hearing, including the nervous system (brainstem, cortical areas, sensory-motor systems, cranial nerves and blood circulation). The course provides an introduction to anatomical terminology that is applied through examination of normal structure and function of the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Functional aspects involving communication and swallowing will be discussed throughout lectures and tutorials. Attendance to lectures and tutorials is highly encouraged but is not mandatory to pass the course.
