In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
Upon successful completion of this unit, you will be able to describe in detail the structural levels of organisation within the body, use medical 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 a deep 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. This unit will build upon knowledge gained during Human Anatomy and Physiology 1. You will be required to have access to a computer to make frequent use of internet resources and to complete assessment tasks.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Co-requisite: BMSC11010 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 It is strongly recommended that students have enrolled into BMSC11010 Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 in a term prior to their enrolment in BMSC11011 Human Anatomy and Physiology 2
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2025
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
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 Student Unit and Teaching Evaluations
Weekly lecture content that was divided and delivered in smaller topics was helpful to students' learning.
Continue to provide lectures in this format.
Feedback from Student Unit and Teaching Evaluations
The Complete Anatomy application is a very valuable resource for learning anatomy and physiology.
Continue to provide students with free access to Complete Anatomy.
Feedback from Student Unit and Teaching Evaluations
Students had difficulty accessing their feedback for the online quiz and online test.
Remind students that they can review their completed assessments to access feedback to improve learning.
- Define the structural levels of organisation and anatomical structures using medical terminology
- Apply knowledge of homeostatic mechanisms and their essential role in physiological responses in the human body
- Apply knowledge of human anatomical structures to the relevant physiological functions in the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems
- Recognise interactions of structure and function between different human body systems
In courses that are externally accredited, the learning outcomes are linked to the national standards of the respective professional organisation/s.
