Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Define and correctly use anatomical and physiological terms;
2. Recognise and describe the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the following body systems: cells, connective tissue, bone tissue and ossification, muscle tissue, nervous system, and special senses; and
3. Understand and explain how the above systems function and interact with each other and the rest of the body to maintain homeostasis.

Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
All assessments are required to be submitted electronically, unless exceptions are granted by the associate dean (education) for the relevant faculty. A coversheet should only be submitted only when an assessment cannot be submitted electronically (e.g. a photograph, a model, a practical assessment), see section 4.4 Assessment Policy and Procedures.
Late submissions: Students submitting work late will receive a reduction in available marks of 5% per day (e.g. if an assessment was submitted three days late a mark of 70% would be reduced to 55%, or put another way, if a student was awarded 21 out of 30 and submitted three days late their mark would be reduced to 16.5 out of 30), up to a maximum of seven days at which time the assignment will no longer be accepted, unless there are approved extenuating circumstances. Detailed information is found in section 9.12 of the Assessment Policy and Procedures. Staff wishing to deviate from this policy will need to state the deviation here (e.g. no late submissions accepted).
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
It is expected that students will work through the online component of this course in a timely fashion.
It is expected that students will attend all laboratory classes.
Required IT skills
It is expected that students will possess UC IT entry skills. Students are expected to use the Moodle site for this unit to access all of the required materials and to complete the online assessments (Quizzes).
Work placement, internships or practicums
None
Additional information
Students will be required to complete a laboratory induction at the commencement of the laboratory classes in week 5. Students are expected to follow laboratory rules outlined in the Laboratory Induction document at all times. Failure to do so will result in exclusion from the laboratory.
