Vertebral Column module (CA41006)

In this module, you will have the opportunity to explore the functional and applied anatomy of the vertebral column. You will learn about the interactions between the structure and function of different components of the column including bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. You will also gain an understanding of common pathological conditions and anatomical variants associated with these structures.



As part of the module, you will learn how to construct a logical, accurate review of a piece of published literature that is relevant to the vertebral column. You will also design a coherent scientific presentation and have the opportunity to present this to your peers. Students will be encouraged to think laterally around current problems and offer opinions that are open for the full class, or small group, discussion.
