Subject outline
In thissubject, students gain knowledge in systemi c physio< span>logy. The subject is divided into three modules. Module one focuses on the study of the human nervous system. Module two focuses on the human muscular system and module three focuses on the human cardiovascular system. Content delivery is via live interactive lectures and resources linked to the student subject learning management system. Content wil lbe supported by a compre< span>hensive tutorial/workshop/enquiry program.

Special conditions BHealth Sci students need to achieve a minimum of 60C in the subjects HBS1HBA and HBS1HBB. BHealth Sci and BHuman Nutrition (elective only) will be selected on the basis of the highest average grade in the subjects HBS1HBA and HBS1HBB until quota is reached. All science students for whom the subject is not a core or a core elective, will only be admitted if quota permits.
