    Physiology

    Physiology is the study of how molecules, cells and organs interact to form a
    whole being.

    What are the processes that allow our bodies to function normally?

    How do the physiological processes in our body compensate in illness?

    How do defects in physiology contribute to the development of illness?

    The basic physiological processes are taught in the context of application to


    clinical practice.

    Lectures and tutorials integrated with other disciplines (JC1, JC2, JC3).
    Revisited with greater emphasis on clinical scenarios in IC.
    Physiology Topics in Semester 1
    Fundamentals 1
    How does the autonomic nervous system integrate the different systems in our
    body?
    How is muscle cell and neurone excitation propagated through nerve and
    muscle tissue?

    Cardiovascular, respiratory and upper limb


    How does the cardiovascular system control blood pressure?

    What physiological processes occur in the heart


    to regulate the heart beat?

    What happens in arrhythmia and heart failure?

    How is efficient gaseous exchange achieved in


    the lungs?

    How does the circulatory system regulate oxygen


    and carbon dioxide concentration in the tissues?
