Physiology is the study of the way the living organism works. It involves the study of individual cells, tissues, organs and the whole body. Physiology subjects emphasise the structure and function of the human body. There are two levels of entry into physiology subjects at Monash University. (1) Students enrolling in the BSc (Biomedical) degree will undertake the compulsory subject BIO1032 (Human biology). This subject provides an introduction to all biomedical subjects, including physiology. (2) The majority of students who choose to study physiology as part of the BSc degree will be introduced to physiology in the second year of their studies. The department offers two eight-point subjects at the second-year level and two twelve-point subjects at third-year level designed primarily for BSc (Biomedical) students. BSc students will undertake equivalent second and third-year level subjects. PHY2051 and PHY2062 are prerequisites for the third-year physiology subjects, PHY3031 and PHY3042 while PHY2011 and PHY2022 are prerequisites for PHY3011 and PHY3022.
