Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items
For the remainder of 2020, resulting from Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, any exams that are required for assessment in a unit will be online exams. Online exams may also use online proctoring to help assure the academic integrity of those exams. Please contact your unit convener with any questions.
While the University has made efforts to ensure that Unit Outlines reflect a unit’s learning activities and assessment items, any changes to Australian Government directives because of the COVID-19 pandemic may require changes to these during the semester to ensure the safety and well being of students and staff. These changes will not be updated in the published unit outline, but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Any changes made will continue to meet the unit’s learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

Syllabus
This unit provides an in-depth study of the anatomical and physiological changes that occur throughout the human lifecycle from conception to old age. Body systems are studied separately, however, students are expected to integrate this material. By the end of the unit students should have a holistic understanding of the dynamic nature of anatomical and physiological changes that occur throughout the lifecycle. The implications of these changes will be explored. This unit is essential for students wanting to extend their understanding of normal physiology before going on to look at disease processes and clinical situations. This unit is co-taught with Human Physiology and the Lifecycle G, 6484.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Integrate systemic changes that occur in normal physiology and anatomy across the lifecycle;
2. Evaluate the implications of these changes;
3. Synthesise and apply this knowledge to real situations;
4. Communicate their views effectively;
5. Support their arguments with recent scientific literature; and
6. Identify, critically analyse, interpret, debate and/or role play issues raised in the unit.
