Module description
In this module you will be provided with in-depth training in musculature anatomy. This module will enable you to learn the major muscles, ligaments and nerves that impact the human skeleton. The module will be taught using a mixed educational package which may involve lecture material and additional activities. The module will be taught as if you are completely unfamiliar with the soft tissues, therefore, there are no pre-requisites in place for this module.
Module aims - intentions of the module
This module provides a detailed study of human musculature anatomy that emphasises a functional approach to the identification of muscle attachments.

Re-assessment notes
Deferral – if you miss an assessment for certificated reasons judged acceptable by the Mitigation Committee, you will normally be either deferred in the assessment or an extension may be granted. The mark given for a re-assessment taken as a result of deferral will not be capped and will be treated as it would be if it were your first attempt at the assessment.
Referral – if you have failed the module overall (i.e. a final overall module mark of less than 50%) you will be required to submit a further assessment as necessary. The mark given for a re-assessment taken as a result of referral will be capped at 50%.
