How does your body operate normally, and what happens when health issues arise? You will explore the anatomy and physiology of healthy tissues, organs, and the major bodily systems. By reviewing and interpreting engaging case studies, you will connect theoretical knowledge with real-life health conditions that impact these systems. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the causes of these diseases, the important diagnostic techniques we can use to assess them, and how we might treat them.

For BSc Biomedical Science students (as a requirement of the IBMS accreditation) this module cannot be compensated or condoned as indicated in the course specification
On successfully completing the module, students will be able to:
1. Describe the main physiological systems of the body and the basic anatomical structure of the principal organs in these systems.
2. Illustrate how body systems act in an integrated manner to maintain homeostasis.
3. Connect normal function of physiological systems to how malfunction of those systems gives rise to disease, using specific examples.
4. Reflect upon the relationship between physiology, anatomy, and medicine
