Unit Description

This unit begins with an introduction to cell structure and some basic cellular and genetic processes and then progresses to the gross anatomy of the musculo-skeletal system and the normal physiology of nerve and muscle function, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the endocrine system and reproductive system. The importance and mechanisms of these systems in maintaining homeostasis will also be discussed. The aim is to convey an integrated knowledge of the structure and function of these body systems which are necessary for subsequent units in the human biomedical sciences.

Unit Learning Outcomes

1.	Name, define and correctly use the key anatomical terms.
2.	Identify features of tissue types found in the organs and the tissues associated with the physiological systems studied.
3.	Describe the structure and functions of the muscular and skeletal systems.
4.	Describe the structure and functions of the cardiovascular system.
5.	Describe the structure and functions of the respiratory system.
6.	Describe the structure and functions of the reproductive system.
7.	Describe the structure and functions of the endocrine system.
