What is this course about? 1.1 Course description Anatomy and Physiology introduces you to the normal functioning of the human body. Emphasis is placed on the normal structure and function in order for you to develop an understanding of the integrative nature of physiological systems. You will review the importance of the underlying mechanisms that regulate and control the activity of human physiological systems. This course provides you with the basis for further study in human pathophysiology. 1.2 Course content 1. Human Organisation 2. Support, Movement &Protection 3. Integration & Coordination 4.

You will demonstrate your understanding of key concepts and topics covered in short review quizzes and you will hand in theoretical and practical components that are completed in each lab and tutorial. This portfolio is representative of the content and expectations of the final exam. 6 Quizzes and 5 prac/tutorial exercises This portfolio is made up of quizzes and tut/lab questions for each system taught in this course. QUIZZES: You will undertake 6 quizzes with 10 questions each associated with body systems to be covered over the course of the semester. The questions must be submitted online via the Wiley HLT100 course site (link available via Blackboard). TUT/LAB EXERCISES: You will complete 12 tutorial and lab class assignments - completing pre-, inand post-class exercises. These will entail a series of questions associated with body systems to be covered over the course of the semester. The questions must be submitted in class to tutors. Criteria You will receive feedback on all of your work for your portfolio and are required to complete all elements. You are required to complete all elements for this portfolio and final grades will not be released until all elements are completed. You will be evaluated on the accuracy of knowledge and understanding of the structures and functions of human body Your 6 quizzes = 30% of your final grade- equal weighting Your best 5 tut/lab assessments = 10% of your final grade equal weighting Generic skill assessed Skill assessment level Communication Problem solving

4 Assessment Task 2: A&P Scenario Reports Goal: Product: Format: Criteria Page 4 You will create scenario report in A&P. In week one you will do a practice scenario model which will give you an overview of the expectations of A&P, how A&P will be structured and assessed. In subsequent weeks you will evaluate and review new scenarios as a lead up to submission in week 10. As a group you will explore the anatomy and physiology given for each scenario and develop and refine your collective learning and understanding of the topics. A breakdown of scores and rubrics for what each report will be assessed on will be supplied on blackboard. A&P report In tutorial of week one, you will form and assemble a working group. Together as a team you will share and brainstorm ideas and knowledge, and produce an A&P report (one report per group of 2). Report structure: 1) Clarify A&P terminology 2) Review scenario problems 3) Analyse scenario problems 4) Formulation of hypothesis 5) Identify learning and explain A&P content in each LO 6) Complete hypothesis Your report must address: - Identify and explain the specific anatomical structures of the human body, and relate these structures to their specific physiological functions related to the scenario - Explain and describe the key processes and functions that control and regulate the normal activity of the human body systems dealt with in the scenario - Productively communicate and collaborate in team exercises.
