Structure,Function and Disease A
BIOS1155
This unit of study introduces the study of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. A detailed study of the normal function of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems is undertaken. This leads to a focus on the important diseases related to these systems and their effects on the body. The basic concepts of pharmacology will also be introduced to enable students to understand the action of drugs on each of the body systems as they are covered in this unit and in BIOS1158 Structure, Function and Disease B. Students are expected to complete self-directed learning packages prior to some practical sessions. Material will be presented in lectures and practical sessions. This unit includes laboratory classes in which human cadavers are studied; attendance at such classes is strongly encouraged.
