This course will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of the complex structure and function of the human body in both health and disease, and will give you the chance to understand how changing the function of your body systems has a dramatic impact on your health. You will look at how the body works normally, by studying physiology and homeostatic mechanisms, and will see how these systems change from birth to old age. You see how metabolism is important for the growth and normal functioning of the body, as well as examining embryology and the developmental origins of human beings. The principles and concepts of the evolution of anatomically modern humans, symbolic language and culture are also explored in depth as part of this exciting course.
