The purpose of this unit is to provide an introduction to human anatomy and physiology to non-medical students in
Biomedical Engineering. Anatomy is the study of structures and their interrelationships. Physiology is the study of
SEEE: Certificate IV in Electronic Engineering: Fourth Revision; AUGUST 2017

functions of various structures in our body. The content in the course describes the important body systems, and how
they function together to maintain proper body functioning. Overall, the unit shall describe the structure and function
of body systems that are most commonly associated with Biomedical Engineering. Moreover, this course will also
describe the mechanisms involved in the transmission of pathogenic organisms, including prevention and control
strategies in order to reduce the spread of infection in the healthcare setting.
