| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit builds on the principles introduced in HEASP1011. It further develops the study of gross anatomical structure and functional anatomy relevant to communication sciences and disorders. It builds on how anatomy and physiology relate to the speech, language, swallowing, voice, fluency and hearing systems. The unit also develops physiological processes and anatomical structure of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal reproductive systems and endocrinology as relevant to the rehabilitation sciences. The emphasis will be on gaining an integrated understanding of the human body through practical sessions including human cadaveric material and functional and clinical case studies to facilitate integration of material and correlation. Some unit modules maybe co-taught with NHPBM1032. |
