This unit aims to provide students with a basic understanding of the different systems of the human body in terms of components and their structure and functions, and how the systems integrate to maintain homeostasis within the body. FHUB is a foundation unit of study that articulates directly into Human Biology 1 which, in turn, articulates into Human Biology 2. Each builds and incorporates the knowledge of the previous unit so that students, on completion of all three units, have an in-depth, comprehensive knowledge of all systems of the human body and their interactions for maintenance of homeostasis.

1. Understand and apply appropriate anatomical terminology to describe each of the different systems of the human body.
2. Compare and contrast the structures and components of each system and their related functions.
3. Critically evaluate the contribution of the different systems in maintenance of homeostasis in the human body.
4. Identify the different levels of organisation of the human body from cell to system(s) and coordinate how their individual functions contribute to the performance as a whole.
5. Conceptualise the functions of each system from a cellular to systemic level.
