| Syllabus: | Physiology is the study of the functions of an organism. This unit looks at important physiological processes which occur within body systems which are essential for life. It examines in more detail some of the fundamental physiological processes of the body, e.g., absorption, secretion, communication, transport and movement from a functional perspective. These themes are addressed within five modules: cellular physiology; nerve & muscle physiology; cellular communication; endocrine physiology and energy metabolism. |
