| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit will provide the student with a comprehensive knowledge of normal and varient human anatomy of the upper and lower limbs, relevant to the practice of radiography. Bones, joints, and muscles of the limbs will be covered in detail. Important surface anatomical features will be included. This study-unit will also cover the skin and cell biology to include cell structure, mitosis and meiosis. Study-unit Aims On completion of this study-unit students should be able to: 1. Be knowledgeable about the cell structure, explain the process of mitosis and meiosis; 2. Explain the classification and structure of bones and joints and the skin; 3. Describe the regional anatomy of the upper and lower limbs; 4. Identify and label reasonably detailed diagrams and photographs of anatomical structures; 5. Identify surface anatomical features on the human model; 6. Apply knowledge to clinical scenarios relevant to the relevant health care profession. Learning Outcomes 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Explain the classification and structure of bones and joints of the upper and lower limb; 2. Describe the functions of skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles and joints in relation to the upper and lower limb; 3. Explain the features of synovial and non synovial joints; 4. Name and label detailed diagrams and photographs of anatomical structures related to the upper and lower limb; 5. Identify surface anatomical markings and features of the upper and lower limbs; 6. Explain major bone and joint diseases affecting the upper and lower limb. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Apply knowledge of upper and lower limb anatomy to the clinical aspect of the relevant health care profession; 2. Apply knowledge to recognize normal anatomy, anomalies and pathologies of the upper and lower limb on radiographs.
