Anatomy and Physiology for Health Care 2 CXA136
Introduction
In Anatomy and Physiology for Health Care 2, you will continue learning the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body, focusing on the contributions of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems to health and wellbeing across the lifespan. Interrelationships between these and other organ systems for maintaining homeostasis and performing activities of living will be emphasised, along with the relevance of concepts to aspects of health care. You will have opportunities to apply your knowledge as you analyse health care scenarios and will expand your vocabulary (as is used within health care settings) for effectively communicating biological information. The foundation knowledge and critical thinking skills that you develop in this unit will support your clinical reasoning and ongoing learning in other units within your course and your practice as a health professional.

Learning Outcomes
- Relate structures of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems of the body to their functions, including variations across the lifespan.
- Explain the complementary relationships between the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and other relevant organ systems to maintain homeostasis, health and wellbeing.
- Analyse healthcare scenarios to differentiate between normal and altered structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
- Communicate information related to the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems using scientific and clinical terminology.

Teaching
Teaching Pattern | This unit is delivered in a blended delivery mode comprising of face-to-face intensives as well as content delivered online via MyLO (My Learning Online). You are expected to devote around 10 hours per week to the study materials, assessment tasks and self-directed learning. In the interests of both personal and public safety, as a registered nursing student with AHPRA you have a professional responsibility and duty as part of your regulatory obligations to ensure the provision of safe and effective nursing care to the public. Therefore, your attendance at Intensives is expected and will be monitored.
