Overview
Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to describe the structural levels of organisation within the body, use anatomical terminology to describe the relative location of structures in the body, and explain the role and general features of homeostasis in the body. You will also gain an understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive human body systems. Your knowledge and skills will be developed through a series of coursework exercises.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE
Students enjoyed the real-world examples provided in the tutorials.
Continue providing real-world examples of anatomy and physiology in the tutorials.
Feedback from SUTE
The lecturer covers important topics. Students' questions during the tutorials were also accommodated and answered logically.
Continue delivery style with focus on key concepts in tutorials.
Feedback from SUTE
The lecturer clearly loves this subject and delivers it well. There is a lot of in-depth content to remember in a short amount of time, and this can be difficult.
