EXSCI1801 Anatomy & Physiology for Human Movement 1
TThis unit is one of two units that provide foundational knowledge of human anatomy and physiology relevant to health and human movement professions. In this unit, the biological basis of health, human movement, and the working of the human body will be explored. The major themes of study relate to organisation of the body and explores anatomy and physiology from cells, to tissues, to organs, and the interrelationships between structure and function of body systems including neuromusculoskeletal integration & control, role of joint complexes in human movement, and the homeostatic and adaptive functions of the digestive and metabolic systems during rest and human movement settings. The unit examines human physiological processes and their integration and control with particular focus on the maintenance of normal body function and human movement settings. An integrated whole body approach using human movement scenarios provides practical learning opportunities and allows scrutiny of structural and physiological changes across the lifespan. 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 neuromusculoskeletal system; the structure and the major integrative functions of the digestive and metabolic systems.
