This subject aims to present normal physiological function of the major mammalian systems. The emphasis is on the study of discrete cell populations within each system and the integration of their activities to meet the needs of the functioning organism. The laboratory program is designed to illustrate fundamental aspects of the theory course. Study guides and tutorial question sheets will aid in focusing students' attention on key areas. Distance education students will perform experimental work using a kit supplied and owned by Monash University. A deposit may be required for this kit.
Assessment
Two unit tests and ongoing practical assessment. Theory constitutes 70% of the overall mark and practical work 30% * A pass in both theory and practical work is mandatory
