Aims of Module | |||
---|---|---|---|
To provide the student with an applied understanding of the physiological basis of all body systems, and how this impacts upon function in the presence and absence of pathology. |
Learning Outcomes for Module | |
---|---|
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
1 | Describe the structure and function of different cells and tissues within the human body. |
2 | Describe the structure of the major systems of the body. |
3 | Relate and apply normal physiology and the structure of the major body systems to their functions. |
4 | Discuss normal function of all major body systems and identify what occurs in the presence of pathology. |
Indicative Module Content |

The structure and function of different tissues, identifying the specialisation of their cellular components and relating them to the organ systems which they subserve. The systems to be included: immune system, cardiovascular, heart and vessels; respiratory - lungs and gas exchange; gastrointestinal - gut and digestive system; genitourinary - kidneys and the bladder, reproductive, musculoskeletal, osteology, myology, anthology, endocrine gland and hormonal control and regulation, CNS, ANS and PNS. Introduction to pathological processes including inflammation, soft tissue healing, fractures and cancer, diabetes and neurological diseases. |
