This subject will focus on advanced topics in physiology including integrated cellular
and organ system function. This subject expands on the principles and concepts introduced
in the Medical Physiology subjects with particular emphasis on the integrated function
of organ systems under varying physiological states. The subject emphasises the importance
of communicating experimental findings and critical analysis at a professional level.
Learning Outcomes
- students will be able to analyse the normal physiological processes of selected organ
systems at an advanced level using the current literature in this area;
- students will be able to describe the manner in which these organ systems integrate
function in order to serve the organism's needs;
- students will observe the consequences of altering key physiological variables on
organ system function;
- students will be able to discuss the interplay between body systems as physiological
conditions change.
