SECTION 2 ACADEMIC DETAILS Subject Ratinale Human Bilgical Science 1 intrduces students t the cncepts f human anatmy and physilgy, frm the scientific cncept f the cell, thrugh the varius levels f structural rganisatin t the rganism as a whle. Students will develp cnceptual understanding f the skeletal, muscular, nervus, endcrine and integumentary systems by cnsidering their cmpnents, structure and functins. This subject als explres hw these bdy systems integrate t maintain hmestasis within the bdy and participate in cntrl mechanisms, grwth, develpment and replacement. A basic knwledge and understanding f the structure and functining f cells, tissues and rgans f healthy peple is essential fr subsequent studies in pharmaclgy and pathlgy, and fr laying the fundatin fr develping prblem slving skills required in the clinical setting. Learning Outcmes 1. Identify and describe cmpnents f the cells, relate them t their individual functins and apply this t define and describe cellular prcesses essential t life, including transcriptin, translatin and cell divisin. 2. Define and discuss the different types f tissue structure and functin. 3. Describe the anatmy and physilgy f the integumentary system and relate this t the prcess f wund healing and burns.

4. Identify and apply apprpriate anatmical terminlgy, including anatmical psitins, directinal terms, planes and sectins t describe psitin f the different systems in the human bdy. 5. Describe the anatmy and physilgy f the skeletal system, and extend this int the imprtance f bld calcium levels and facilitatin f mvement. 6. Explain the sliding filament thery in the cntext f muscle physilgy and describe muscle anatmy and metablism. 7. Explain the mechanism f actin ptential and release f neurtransmitters and relate this t the anatmy and physilgy f the whle nervus system, including CNS, PNS and ANS. 8. Describe and relate the structure and functin f reflex arcs and explain their imprtance in facilitating infrmatin between PNS and CNS r ANS. 9. Describe the anatmy and physilgy f the endcrine system and apply this t the imprtance f hmestasis and its maintenance by feedback systems. 10. Demnstrate an integrated knwledge f the anatmy and physilgy f the skeletal, muscular, nervus, endcrine and integumentary systems, and hw they cntribute t hmestasis in the human bdy.
