This module introduces students to the structural organisation of the human body and enables students to gain the necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and basic pathological processes of the human skeletal and respiratory system with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.
Aims
This module aims to introduce students to the structural organisation of the human body and to enable students to develop necessary knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology and basic pathological processes of the human skeletal and respiratory systems with specific reference to radiographic practice, image interpretation and radiation effects on the human body.

Intended Learning Outcomes
demonstrate knowledge of appropriate biological science underpinning the study of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human body: 1,2,3,4,5describe the physiology of the bony skeleton and its associated joints: 1,2,3,4,5describe the anatomy and the physiology of the respiratory system: 2,3,4,5describe the common pathological processes affecting the human body including radiation effects: 2,4,5demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the normal anatomy of the bony skeleton and its associated joints including radiographic appearances: 1,2,3,4,5
This module makes use of blended learning opportunities to include e.g. on-line, face to face lectures, practical classes, seminars and tutorials.Guided independent study enables students to identify their learning needs and facilitates independent learning. Formative assessment will be completed using in-class tests and small group tutorials.It is anticipated that study hours will include approximately 63 hours of practice experience. This is derived from a total of 375 hours, averaged across all six assessed modules in year 1.
Description of Module Assessment
1: Poster Presentation weighted 0%Group poster presentations on aspects of the human body20 minute randomly allocated interactive group poster assessment to test application of knowledge of biological sciences, anatomy and physiology of human body systems, and common pathological processes.
2: Practice Based Assessment weighted 0%Portfolio E: Oral Examination 40 minsAssesses those aspects of student knowledge and application mapped against the intended learning outcomes of this module: with reference to all appendicular imaging undertaken by the student during Practice Experience.
3: Exam weighted 100%Online examination - 1.5 hoursAn on-line question paper of no more than 1.5 hours.
