This subject begins by outlining the principles involved in the study of the human
body at the cellular, tissue and system level. This will include an introduction to
the anatomy and physiology of a range of body systems. Each body system will be investigated
at the microscopic, macroscopic and physiological level using a combination of human
cadaveric material (prosections), histological sections and physiology laboratory
examinations. The importance of how the body systems interact and coordinate to maintain
homeostasis will be explored
Learning Outcomes
