About this Unit
This is the second of two units covering systematic anatomy and physiology at an introductory level. This unit is designed to provide students especially those in applied health science programs with an overview of body systems and their functions to ensure a suitable basis for their future studies. The unit studies the general anatomy and physiology of the major body systems such as cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive and lymphatic system/immunity, body fluids & acid-base balance and metabolism. Emphasis will be placed on the interconnection and relationship between structure and function at every level of organisation.
