HBS2ANS

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject is designed to develop students understanding of the functional anatomy and neurosciences relevant to speech and swallowing and the role of the central and peripheral nervous system in sensory and motor function. In this subject, the concepts of human structure and function introduced in HBS1HBA and HBS1HBB will be applied to the head and neck, respiratory and nervous systems. Emphasis will be placed on developing students' abilities to predict the effects of impaired structure and function. This subject will provide students with foundation knowledge to assist in clinical reasoning, practice and consultation in speech pathology.
