Module Aims
To introduce students to the structure and function of typical human cells, organelles and membranes with specific reference to how structure relates to function.
To enable students to describe how human homeostasis is maintained in the different physiological systems by the operation of biological control mechanisms.
To present an overview of the physiological systems (illustrated with clinical examples of health and disease).
