This unit is a general introduction to human anatomy and physiology. It examines (i) the anatomy and physiology of the major human organ systems, (ii) homeostasis in relation to its ubiquity, and steady state system models and (iii) regulatory mechanisms from the perspective of their complexity and functioning in human states of health.
For COURSE_CODE IN C33 Do Permission required Otherwise true
Unit was previously coded SCN1106
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lectures and interactive laboratory work supported by audiovisual material and computer software, totalling 4 hours per week. During laboratory classes students work in small teams to discuss laboratory and lecture questions, conduct experiments, and critically evaluate the findings of these experiments. The lectures and laboratory classes make use of peer reviewed research literature on the anatomy and physiology of global communities living in diverse environments. Students will use these resources to produce a client information pack on a particular disease. Discussions are also conducted via Blackboard's discussion board. The sustainable use of resources via Blackboard will be promoted throughout this unit.
