University of Western Australia - Human Biology I

This unit explores the biology of 'becoming human' in an integrative way, with emphasis on human evolution, genetics, development and structure. How we 'become human' is explored from the perspective of both the individual and the species, with topics encompassing the structure and function of the human body at the level of molecules, cells and tissues, reproduction, growth and development, all considered within the context of evolution. The latter involves understanding evolutionary principles, human genetics including the structure and function of genes, inheritance patterns in families and the causes of genetic disease, cell replication, human behaviour including social aspects of human sexuality and reproduction, use of reproductive technology, and aspects of human evolutionary history including links with other living primates.

University of Western Australia - Human Biology II

This unit explores the biology of 'being human' in today's world with an emphasis on how humans interact with the environment and with each other. Topics include the structure and function of human body systems, including the role of the endocrine and nervous systems in maintaining homeostasis; nutrition, within the context of growth and ageing across the human life cycle; and human population genetics and ecology (the interactions between humans and their environment), with emphasis on the impact of our genes and lifestyle on disease, the differences between human groups and the fallacy of human 'races', how the environment and evolution have shaped our appearance and genes, and the role of genes in determining human behaviour.

University of Western Australia - Human Functional Anatomy

This unit offers a regional study of the entire upper and lower limbs, describing joints and joint movements, muscle groups and patterns of innervation. It draws attention to specialised functions of the limbs such as hand mechanisms and locomotion. Topics of interest like nerve injuries relate the basic structure to altered function. This is followed by the study of the anatomical organisation of the head and neck. In addition to the topographic organisation of this region, attention is paid to functional areas like mastication, swallowing and the eye, along with embryonic development and its correlation.

University of Western Australia - Biological Anthropology: Human Adaptation and Variation

Biological anthropology is concerned with the nature of variation and the ways in which the biology and behaviour of humans are influenced by genetic, developmental, ecological and cultural factors. This unit looks at human variation in contemporary populations from the perspective of evolutionary ecology. It focuses on ecological principles as applied to human populations, the emergence of adaptations during the process of gene–environment interaction during development, and the interplay of cultural and biological factors in human behaviour. Topics covered include principles of individual and kin selection, principles of human ecology, genetic sources of variation (beyond mutation), evolution of human development, reproductive and parental investment strategies, biological approach to culture, and evolutionary and developmental perspectives on the human life cycle.

University of Western Australia - Human Reproductive Biology

This unit builds on Level 1 human biology to develop the structural and functional basis of human reproduction including structure and function of the reproductive organs, gametogenesis, fertilisation, early embryogenesis, fetal development and preparation for birth, maternal adaptations to pregnancy and reproductive ageing. Particular emphasis is placed on the hormonal control of reproduction. This information is then used to examine social issues including human sexuality, infertility, birth control, the cause and prevention of malformation and the impact of new techniques in reproductive biology. The unit provides students with a sound understanding of human reproduction in light of our evolutionary history, culture and society.

University of Western Australia - Cell and Tissue Organisation

This unit offers an advanced course in investigating the organisation of human cells and tissues. The lectures, seminars/tutorials and laboratory classes cover the sophisticated cellular interactions and molecular events that lead to the following: (1) tissue formation during embryogenesis; (2) growth; (3) homeostasis of normal adult tissues; (4) repair in response to damage; (5) disease; (6) ageing; and (7) tissue engineering. The theory, practice and applications of methods of tissue preparation, cell culture, immunocytochemistry, autoradiography, confocal and electron microscopy, in situ hybridisation and image analysis are emphasised. Using these techniques, students carry out their own group projects to independently investigate the organisation of a specific tissue or organ and present the results by way of a group report and a seminar.
