PHY2042 Body systems physiology

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems of the body;

2. 2

   Explain how these body systems integrate in a way that facilitates maintenance of homeostasis and responses to challenges such as exercise and blood loss;

3. 3

   Evaluate how altered structure and/or function of these body systems may lead to disease;

4. 4

   Understand evidence from experimental and clinical observations to generate knowledge of physiological principles;

5. 5

   Perform physiology laboratory techniques, including calculation of drug concentrations, the use of stimulating electrodes and physiological data acquisition systems and the tabulation and graphing of experimental data;

6. 6

   Communicate experimental observations and the conclusions drawn from them in the form of written practical reports.
