| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit is one of two that provide important knowledge of human structure and function relevant to health and nutrition. The biological basis of human health and the working of the human body will be explored, initially examining organisation of the body and then exploring anatomy and physiology from cells to tissues to organ systems. The unit encourages students to understand how dietary choices and consumption patterns impact normal body system development, structure and function.
Topics include: organisation of the human body from chemical and cellular basics to body systems; the maintenance of homeostasis; the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system; the structure and the major integrative functions of the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and reproductive systems |

|
| Learning Outcomes: |
| Knowledge: |
| K1. | Describe basic chemical composition, functions and organisation of the human body and how they contribute to homeostasis under normal conditions. |
|
| K2. | Identify and describe major anatomical structures of specific body systems including the musculoskeletal, central and peripheral nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems of the human body. |
|
| K3. | Explain the general impact of nutritional practices on normal development and functioning of body systems. |
|
| Skills: |
| S1. | Relate the concept of homeostasis to physiological processes. |
|
| S2. | Relate underlying physiological principles to health and nutrition. |
|
| S3. | Analyse health and nutrition data relevant to the functioning of various body systems. |
|
| Application of knowledge and skills: |
| A1. | Demonstrate accurate use of terminology related to human anatomy and physiology for effective communication in a health context. |
|
| A2. | Interpret potential causal relationships between anatomical and physiological structures or events, and nutritional factors with impact on human health. |
|
| A3. | Demonstrate and apply a framework for assessing nutritional impacts on the functioning of various body systems in practical settings. |

| 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.
