| Summary | The course will introduce the discipline of modern Physiology and emphasise the multidisciplinary nature of the subject. Students will be introduced to current concepts in human and mammalian physiology starting from gene expression, through protein and cell physiology, culminating in organ and systems physiology. Modern approaches and techniques for the study of physiology will also be discussed. Teaching will take the form of lectures, demonstrations, and self-directed group tasks. |

Learning Outcomes
| Key Skills will be reinforced in the course, including: 1. How to interpret and analyse scientific papers and the physiological data in them. 2. How to statistically analyse and present data effectively in written and oral presentations. This is considered essential preparation for your Physiology Honours Paper Analysis exam. This exam will test your analytical skills by giving you a current scientific paper in which the students will have to, for example, handle data, interpret experiments and develop experimental plan. During Semester 2, an opportunity is given to practice using a past paper, and feedback will be given. In addition, there will be an ICA component summarising a current research topic in physiology.
