| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit will introduce the principles of human body structure and function as relevant for allied health students. This will include a detailed study of the gross anatomical structure and functional anatomy of the upper limb, and the various body systems including the special senses, the respiratory, cardiovascular, integumentary, lymphatic, digestive, endocrine, renal and reproductive systems. An integrated understanding of the human body will be achieved through online learning and practical sessions, including the interactive study of digital human cadaveric models and clinical case-studies. This blended approach to learning will facilitate the integration of learning material with contemporary clinical practice, through the correlation of anatomical structure to physiological function. |

| Unit Content: |
The Occupational Therapy Board of Australia, OTBA Code of Conduct (2014) Australian Occupational Therapy Competency Standards (2018) and National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards (2017) have substantially informed the syllabus/content of this unit.
• Anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system as it relates to the upper limb
• Anatomy and physiology of specific body systems including the special senses, the respiratory, cardiovascular, integumentary, lymphatic, digestive, endocrine, renal and reproductive systems
• Introduction to the thermoregulation, blood, immunology, nutrition and metabolism |
