School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy HUBS1401: Human Bioscience Callaghan Semester 1 - 2019

OVERVIEW Course Description

This course provides an integrated introduction to the anatomy (structure), physiology (functioning) and biochemistry (molecular interactions) of the human body. Core concepts are: - the principles of homeostasis and the significance of a breakdown in homeostasis as a threat to health - the organisation of the human body from atoms to organism - the processes that are critical to the maintenance of life and the processes that help defend threats to life - the complementarity of anatomy and physiology, and interrelationships between body organ systems. In addressing these concepts the course covers the cell, cell cycle and basic cellular chemistry; atomic structure; molecules of life; protein synthesis; water, acids, bases and pH balance. The course introduces the 4 tissue types and the 11 body systems - integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, renal and reproductive systems. The course also presents an introduction to immunity, infectious microbiological agents, genetics and human evolution. HUBS1401 cannot be undertaken in B. Nursing or B. Midwifery as an Elective.

SYLLABUS Course Content

The course covers the fundamentals of the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the human body. The content is organised under the following themes: 1. Cellular structure & function 2. Organisation of cells, tissues & organs 3. Life processes & homeostasis 4. Basic biochemistry 5. Assimilation & excretion 6. Information transfer 7. Movement 8. Reproduction, heredity and evolution 9. Immunity & repair processes

Course Learning Outcomes

1. Develop strategies for self-learning and critical reasoning. 2. Identify and apply the correct terminology in relation to human anatomy and physiology. 3. Define the major aspects of biochemistry relating to reactivity and the formation of chemical bonds. 4. Identify and explain the levels of biological organisation. 5. Explain homeostasis and negative feedback. 6. Develop an understanding of the organ systems and how they contribute to life.
