Unit Learning Outcomes
- 1 Describe the normal structure and function of molecules, cells and tissues which underpin normal structure and function and their relevance to the diagnosis of disease.
- 2 Describe the fundamentals of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, infection and immunology which underpin normal structure and function and their relevance to the diagnosis of disease and therapeutic strategies.
- 3 Use basic histological techniques, be able to recognise cells, tissues and organs, successfully use a light microscope, describe and recognise transmission electron microscope images
- 4 Describe the stages in development of the human embryo.
- 5 Describe the structure and function of the human cardiorespiratory and renal systems along withthe gastro-intestinal tract and related organs.
- 6 Understand control of respiration and cardiovascular function and the clinical assessment of cardiorespiratory and renal function
- 7 Describe the features of common diseases and their treatments.

- 11 Apply scientific principles to medical practice.
- 12 Review your progress on the module and work to clearly defined targets.
Course Learning Outcomes
- 9 Apply self-directed learning skills to research, review, summarise and present science and health-related publications.
- 10 Evaluate and interpret qualitative and quantitative data taken from relevant publications and communicate the results accurately and coherently in a structured manner.
- 11 Understand the structure and normal function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, reproductive, urogenital, and gastrointestinal systems.
- 12 Understand the scientific principles of the causes, symptoms, and treatment of cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, reproductive, urogenital, and gastrointestinal disease.
- 13 Individually and in groups undertake oral and written presentations, and demonstrate problem-solving, numerical and laboratory skills.
Assessment Breakdown
Systems Physiology & Anatomy provides an introduction to the molecules, cells and tissues which underpin normal structure and function of the human body and to provide basic knowledge of embryology and genetics. It introduces the physiology, pharmacology, infection and immunology which underpin normal
structure and function, and facilitates an understanding of how abnormalities of structure can lead to functional disorder and disease processes and the scientific basis for infectious and non-infectious disease.
