Description

This unit provides an introduction to the structure and function of the major organ systems of the human body. Students will gain insight into the anatomy and physiology of the structures of the human body which underpin human movement in sport. Students will also investigate the major components of the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Work independently to investigate normal human anatomy and physiology using a range of scholarly sources.
  2. Apply basic anatomical and physiological knowledge to describe common sporting movements.
  3. Communicate knowledge of human movement using appropriate anatomical and physiological terminology.

Unit Content

  1. Anatomy, physiology and contribution to human movement of the musculoskeletal system.
  2. Anatomy, physiology and contribution to human movement of the nervous system.
  3. Anatomy, physiology and contribution to human movement of the cardiovascular system.
  4. Anatomy, physiology and contribution to human movement of the endocrine system.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS
