Students are assumed to have studied systemic anatomy prior to enrolling in BMS172.

<p>This subject provides students with a comprehensive overview of the functional anatomy of the vertebral column, pelvic girdle, pelvic floor, and lower limbs. Topics covered include limb motion related to joint structure and mobility, relevant aspects of surface anatomy, and the anatomical relationships between bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves in these body regions. Students undertaking this subject will be assumed to have a basic understanding of anatomical terminology, the general organisation of the body as a whole, and have an introductory level knowledge of the gross anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. </p>
