Aims
To enable learners to develop detailed knowledge and understanding of the anatomical structure and biochemical composition of human specialized cells and their physiological function; various systems of the human body and their coordinated functions; communication between distinct human tissues and organs; components of human homeostatic control systems and the maintenance of a constant internal environment.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify the functions of the cellular organelles together with the associated biochemical processes, and explain the functions of major varieties of body tissues.
2.
Describe the processes of reproduction and foetal development and explain the effect of aging in physiological system.
3.
Recognise the integrated nature of human physiological systems and their importance in homeostasis.
4.
Describe the structure and functions of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal and musculoskeletal systems.
