This subject contains a 3 day Compulsory Residential School.
The purpose of this residential school is to provide face-to-face presentation of major scientific concepts to enhance student understanding.
This subject continues the study of normal structure and function of the human body which was commenced in BMS191 Human Bioscience 1. This subject focuses on the structure and function of the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, digestive and reproductive systems.
* Offering has a residential school. Please view following information for further details.
