What it covers
The unit takes a systems approach to understanding the human body and integrates knowledge from human biology, anatomy, physiology and basic cell biology to achieve an understanding of bodily functions. It will give you an understanding of the detailed workings of vital body systems, acting separately and together to ensure the integrated function of the body as a whole. There will be a particular focus on the immune system in this unit and the area of pharmacology will be introduced owing to interactions with nutrition and physiological processes. This unit complements the unit NUT2104 (Nutritional Biochemistry)
