Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject you gain knowledge in systems physiology, including the heart, blood, immune, renal, respiratory and acid-base systems. We discuss how the heart is mechanical pump, followed by how blood vessels control blood flow and pressure. Our focus then shifts to the blood and mechanisms involved in developing immunity. You will gain a detailed understanding of the renal system and how it clears the body of waste while also being an important regulator of blood pressure. The respiratory system then becomes our focus where you will gain understanding of breathing mechanisms and how gasses are transported around the body. We conclude focusing on how the body regulates pH using both renal and respiratory buffers. The detailed online resources in this subject are supported by a comprehensive program of enquiry based workshops. Practical classes will allow you to undertake experiments to enhance your learning experience, whilst building on communication skills.
