The unit examines, support and movement, and human physiological processes and their integration and control with particular focus on the maintenance of normal body function. This unit will incorporate additional learning hours to support the development of students¿ academic and study skills The unit encourages students to demonstrate an application of biological science knowledge. An integrated whole-body approach provides inter-professional learning opportunities and allows scrutiny of structural and physiological changes across the lifespan. This unit is open to all health professions for inter-professional learning. 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.

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
