Discipline of Human Physiology and Characterising Physiology
Students, at the end of the course, will have acquired basic knowledge of the functioning of organs and systems that will enable them to be able to develop a critical reasoning on the operation of the various organ systems individually and will reach an overview on how the various systems work together to maintain general homeostasis of the organism and in the management of the voluntary and reflex bheaviour.
