This unit is suitable for students in biological, biomedical, cell and molecular sciences, and human movement and human science students interested in a deeper understanding of cellular processes. The content of the unit is divided into several major themes: <br/><br/>(1) Membrane transport and electrical phenomena in cells—this is concerned with the physical rules and the molecular mechanisms that govern the movement of salts, solutes and water across cell membranes, how these are linked to cell volume and membrane voltages and how they are coupled in tissues to achieve secretion and absorption that is fundamental to the operation of many organ systems; <br/><br/>(2) Electrical and... -- Course Website
