PHYSIOL 3103 - Integrated and Applied Systems Physiology

The Integrated and Applied Systems Physiology course is designed to challenge and stimulate your interest in how the integration of organ systems is necessary for whole body function. We will use examples that focus on the complex integration of multiple systems, including neural, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular, which enable human function. The lecture stream offers a series of independent modules covering the following main topics: cardiovascular and respiratory health and disease, gastrointestinal function and nutrient signalling, and bone marrow development. An added dimension of many of the topics is the physiological basis of the development of common diseases and changes that occur throughout the lifespan. Assessment tasks are designed to encourage, application of knowledge in to practice.
