What it covers
Students will undertake detailed study of mechanisms underlying cardiopulmonary and renal physiology and apply this knowledge to describe and report physiological data. Students will develop an understanding of how these systems work together in an integrated fashion to maintain homeostasis. Students will also be introduced to measurement of physiological parameters. Techniques for measurement of physiological parameters, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), spirometry, gas exchange, and renal dialysis will be examined and their clinical value for assessing human health evaluated. This will include the utilisation of exercise as a tool for monitoring physiological deviations in these systems.
