| Brief description of the Unit |
The unit is designed to move beyond teaching anatomy and physiology as separate disciplines. By emphasising the connections between structure (anatomy) and function (physiology), it will support a more holistic understanding of how the body works. A systems based approach will allow students to focus on one body system at a time before moving onto the next. The integrated nature of Anatomy & Physiology will be reflected in the way content is presented, assessed, and applied throughout the unit. |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
