This subject provides the student with the foundation knowledge for further studies in human physiology and pharmacology. It covers a diversity of functions of the human body including respiration, gastro-intestinal physiology and nutrition, renal physiology, special senses and reproductive physiology. Students will be introduced to scientific writing, including literature searching, data analysis, and the application of basic statistics. This knowledge is essential for careers in health related areas, human biomedical research and drug research development.
Learning Outcomes

- compare the socio-ecological impact, pathophysiology and treatment underlying a disease process between the first and third worlds;
- relate both verbally and in writing how the methods of biomedical science further understanding of physiological processes;
- demonstrate personal and social responsibility and accountability through an awareness of ethical frameworks, by working safely and responsibly in the laboratory setting;
- describe the physiology underlying the respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, special senses and reproductive systems.
