Synopsis
The course will cover the fundamental concepts that allow a complex organism to function, with a key focus on humans. Key concepts include the control of body function including homeostasis, the functioning of the nervous system, nutrient processing, and the changes that occur in normal ageing independent of disease. The aim is to present a comprehensive overview of how structure and function are integrated at all levels from the cell to the organism. A residential school is a compulsory component of this course.
