| Explanatory Text | |
| This module assessment has 2 components C and C2. Students are given 3 case studies and asked to choose two. Students have 1,500 words for each case study to apply physiological principles and mechanisms to common pathologies and be able to discuss the impact this has on patient function. C1 is one case study of 1,500 words C2 is on case study of 1,500 words | |
