Show that you understand anatomical terminology by providing written commentary which covers the following criteria. You should use diagrams, and/or comparison tables, to support your commentary where appropriate.

Make an academic report which entails the concept of anatomical terminology in broader sense covering various features of it like anatomical terms, microanatomy, morphology, analysis of the human body, skeletal system, range of joints, muscle cells, etc.

Unit 9

You are required to write an academic report which covers the sections outlined below.

SECTION ONE
Show that you understand anatomical terminology by providing written commentary which covers the following criteria. You should use diagrams, and/or comparison tables, to support your commentary where appropriate.
• Explain structures and movements using anatomical terms.
• Analyse the human body in terms of organ systems, organs, tissues and cells.
• Discuss the morphology and microanatomy of cells in connective and muscle tissue.

SECTION TWO
Demonstrate that you understand the skeletal system and locomotion through analysis and discussion of the following areas:
• The functions of the skeletal system including the main types of joints and the role of connective tissue.
• The development of the skeleton.
• The relationships between the structures of the bones and their functions.
• The structure and function in a range of joints.
• How muscular forces are transmitted by the skeletal system.

Include diagrams to support your commentary where appropriate.

SECTION THREE
Demonstrate that you understand the muscular system through explanation and analysis of the following areas:
• The types of muscle cells, the contractile response, innervation of muscles and their component muscle cells.
• The structure of typical muscles.

You should use diagrams, and/or comparison tables, to support your commentary where appropriate.

GUIDANCE

Relevant theory must be referenced where appropriate, and you must provide a references list and bibliography.

Your report should also contain appropriate drawings and diagrams to support your commentary. If these are taken from published sources, they must be referenced accordingly.

You should also include your own observations and reflections throughout your report to support your findings and conclusions.

The report should be a maximum of 1,500 words in length.
