Subject description

This subject provides a fundamental scientific basis for students undertaking study areas such as medical and health science, pre-medicine, nutrition and dietetics, exercise science and rehabilitation, and radiation physics. In this subject, you will be exposed to a broad overview of the anatomy and physiology of the human body from … For more content click the Read More button below. The lecture series and practical activities will provide you with a basic understanding of how each system functions from an anatomical and physiological perspective. It is important to understand that no single system functions in isolation. The lecture and practical activities compliment integrated learning of key systems in the human body from a functional and structural perspective. Please note that Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology II is a subject that will require consistent study throughout the semester.
