Grade: 86. Definitely more rigorous compared to locomotor as you need to consider, muscles, visceral systems, nerves and how they are all interconnected. Theory exam was on the harder side, practical exam was alright though. Overall, I would say its harder to get H1 compared to locomotor but still very achievable.

This subject is more interesting than locomotor for sure but you get much less support from Jason in terms of hints for the exam. He also never answers or checks Ed lmao. MST1 I found pretty easy tbh. There was just one question about the relationship between the pancreas and bile duct but that was the only ‘hard’ one. MST2 was harder because of pelvis questions. They asked about shortest distance in the pelvis, and it was S4 to ischial spine, instead of what Kate said in lecture about distance between ischial spines. They asked: The branch of which artery accompanies uterine tube in broad ligament: 1) cervical 2) ovarian 3) vaginal 4) fallopian. There was also an option in a question about the pelvic splanchnic nerves are mixed containing both autonomic and sensory. They also asked about anal columns and mucous. Cranial nerves WAS tested!! The way they test it is just which of the following is correct, and they gave some options about what each of the cranial fossas contain. So when revising, don’t just cover things up and go oh yeah I know this is x y z, but actually know what each fossa contains and their anatomical relationship with the bones of the brain. They also asked which cranial nerves go through jugular foramen. Anyway, to study for MST2, just make sure to go through all the specific details written in slides instead of just getting ‘big picture’. For theory exam, they asked about uterine artery pathway, peritoneum relationship (can’t exactly remember), rectus sheath, breast, tongue muscles extrinsic and intrinsic (intrinsic was just naming but not movement), tongue sensation nerves, tongue taste buds, how water enters. The MCQs in theory were easy. The practical exam was mostly easy, there was just two tricky ones with identifying the layers in spermatic cord which I never practised before, and one of spleen with pancreas and the sup and inferior mesentery artery/vein. The diagrams weren’t as complicated as anatomedia dissection module. They were a bit like the ‘systems’ module maybe? Anyway, H1 is pretty achievable for this subject.

This subject is fantastic. Jason, Rex and Janet are great lecturers. Jason and Rex are easily in my top 5 of favourite lecturers. They just made anatomy so engaging, they are also brilliant during the pracs, they made demonstrations so fun. The pracs are different to locomotor, in viscera and Visceral you go explore the stations at your own pace, whereas in locomotor it is 45 mins per station. The content is really interesting From weeks 1-3 you cover the thorax with Jason, then from weeks 4-6 you cover the abdomen with Rex. In weeks 7-9 you cover the Pelvis with Janet. Weeks 9-11 you cover the ENT with Jason. There is more content in visceral and viscera compared to locomotor, but not an overwhelming amount. If you use ANKI and go to the pracs often you would do fine. It is important that you go to the pracs every week, as well as the dissections. The second part of the prac exam is dissection based.

LOVED THIS SUBJECT! Jason was such a good coordinator/lecturer and there was not one aspect of this subject that I disliked learning about. You get a lot more freedom in the practical classes compared to ANAT30007 and to do well you do have to have initiative. However, I do think a H1 is achievable, especially if you enjoy anatomy and hold yourself accountable throughout the semester.

Was an awesome subject with an awesome lecturer who knows how to teach anatomy very clearly. The lecture slides were clear and well made which made learning the complicated anatomy more straightforward. Would defo recommend.

I put in so much effort only to end up with a 67. I enjoyed the practical component. The lecturers mark way too harshly, especially Janet's section where she asked about the topic repitively on MST and exam that she barely touched on for 1 minute! DO not take it thinking it is like Second yr HSF subject.

A really well-run subject. All of the lecturers were well-informed and passionate about their content. I enjoyed the clinical lectures with guest lecturers which provided fantastic real-world applications of what we were learning. Jason is a fantastic coordinator who is very easy-going and kind. I found looking at cadavers extremely emotionally distressing at times and he set time out of his day to have a one-on-one zoom call with me and talk through how he could best support my learning. Having the 6th lockdown wasn't ideal but Jason was also very forthcoming on how they were trying to hold practicals. Even though we weren't able to do the in-person dissections I really appreciate his weekly updates and all the efforts he made to try and give us the best possible experience. The demonstrators in the pracs were also lovely. They were all so well-experienced with incredible careers and you could tell they really wanted us to learn and appreciate the cadaveric material - I felt very comfortable asking them questions. Even though the attendance dropped by the end of the semester, they still made themselves available for 3 hours weekly for those who turned up. The MSTs were fair and H1's were achievable. Personally, I found the theory component of the EOS exam to be more difficult than the practical component. Make sure you give yourself enough time for the SAQ section, I messed up badly with this and it ruined my grade. I'd really encourage you to print off unlabelled diagrams and have a go of labelling yourself (e.g. labelling the exit paths of cranial nerves, vessels of coronary circulation). Acland's Anatomy is also another fantastic source for studying practical content, I'd recommend it 100%!

Great subject. Loved it. The dissections were the best part. Good knowledge base for medicine and related health graduate courses.

Enjoyable, but I personally felt that some of the content of this subject made it harder than ANAT30007 Human Locomotor Systems. Especially the pelvis! But same as ANAT30007, resources are awesome of course, and I loved having several guest lecturers who could give us an insight into the study&use of anatomy in the real world.

In my opinion, this is one of the most enjoyable subjects offered in uni. Jason, the main lecturer and coordinator, is very passionate about the subject and is great at teaching. The content is also very interesting, just have to make sure to not fall behind as some lectures do build on previous ones. The practicals (workshops and dissections) are great resources which allowed us to explore the organs in its 3 dimensional form.
