DOH112 Oral Health Bioscience 1B (12)
CSU Discipline Area: Dentistry and Oral Health (DENOH)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject continues the study of normal structure and function of the human body. This subject focuses on the structure and function of the cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, endocrine, digestive and reproductive systems. Students will also expand their knowledge of basic oral biology including the structure and morphology of the dentition.

Prerequisite(s):
Enrolment restrictions:
Restricted to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Oral Health (Therapy/Hygiene) course
Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
be able to:
* Compare the different theories of periodontal disease and its management;
* Apply the basic concepts of periodontal disease to the clinical situation;
* Understand the basic aetiology and pathophysiology of dental caries;
* Develop a sound knowledge of oral and dental anatomy by the identification of oral structures including the dentition;
* Demonstrate proficiency in the identification and replication of the morphology of teeth;
* describe the structure and function of the endocrine system;
* describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular system;
* describe the structure and function of the lymphatic system;
* describe the structure and function of the respiratory system;
* describe the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, gallbladder and pancreas;
* demonstrate understanding of the nutritional roles of major nutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals);
* describe the structure and function of the urinary system;
* demonstrate understanding of processes that maintain fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance;
* describe the structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems, including processes associated with fertilisation, foetal development, pregnancy, parturition and lactation;
* demonstrate understanding of the major types of inheritance (dominant-recessive, incomplete dominance, multiple-allele inheritance, sex-linked and polygene inheritance).
