Module code: BIS4009-B
Human diseases have wide and varying impacts on different parts of the human body. For example, Diabetes can cause problems for the cardiovascular system, the renal system, nerves and visual systems. Therefore, it is important to understand how the human body works in health so that changes which happen in disease can be identified and treated. This module supports the programme by developing learners knowledge of the underlying concepts and core principles of Biomedical Science (PLO1) through the development of an understanding of the functional organisation of the human body using a systems approach to normal anatomy and physiology, and selected examples of pathophysiological changes and disease. This module will support those students seeking knowledge to support their employment in medicine and medical research. It emphasises the control and integration of cells and systems in the healthy body and outlines some important disease states. Download the PDF for BIS4009-B_2024_5.pdf
