<p>This unit is one of two units that provide foundational knowledge of human anatomy and physiology relevant to the health and human movement professions. In this unit the biological basis of human movement and the working of the human body will be explored. The major themes of study focus on the interrelationships between structure and function of body systems including body defences, integration and control through hormonal process and maintenance, cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal function during movement and development of normal body function through thermoregulation and fluid balance. An integrated approach using human movement scenarios provides practical learning opportunities and allows scrutiny of structural and physiological changes across the lifespan. Topics include: the structure and function of the integumentary and lymphatic systems with emphasis on their roles in immunity; the structure and function of the neuromusculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems with applications to movement settings and homeostasis; and the structure of the endocrine, special senses, and reproductive systems and the integrative physiological function.</p>
