    The aims of the course are to provide:
    • an overview of the functions of major organ systems and their operation to maintain homeostasis;
    • an introduction to integrative physiology using examples at the levels of cell physiology, organ physiology and systems physiology from the cardio respiratory, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems;
    • an overview of the structure and function of nervous system;
    • an introduction to the general structure of nerve cells, their connections and how they are arranged to form circuits and pathways that underlie sensory motor and cognitive functions;
    • an introduction to cognitive function and techniques used in cognitive research;
    • an overview of nervous system disorders.
