This Level 3 unit consists of a series of integrated lectures, laboratory classes and tutorials that demonstrate how physiological systems function in the whole body, how they are controlled by local cell regulation and by neural and hormonal means, how they respond to internal and environmental perturbations, and how they interact. The unit builds on an understanding of general physiological function and mechanisms developed in the Level 2 Physiology units. Key concepts include the sensory input into different body systems, the application of control theory to body system control, their response to internal and external factors, and the differential diagnosis of problems from pathology... -- Course Website
