Human Physiology

Develop your understanding of human physiology through homeostasis and cardiovascular function. The subject develops respiration and renal function, then examines endocrine regulation and nervous function. Interpret physiological teaching data and supervised non-invasive demonstrations.

Learning outcomes

• Explain homeostasis and cardiovascular function using an appropriate example.
• Analyse a subject-related problem involving respiration and renal function.
• Present reasoned evidence addressing endocrine regulation and nervous function.

Main topics

• Homeostasis
• Cardiovascular function
• Respiration
• Renal function
• Endocrine regulation
• Nervous function

Practical task

Interpret physiological teaching data and supervised non-invasive demonstrations.

Assessment

Submit a function-based case analysis and data interpretation.
