About this Unit
This unit emphasises detailed functional aspects of the nervous system, particularly sensory (vision, hearing, taste, smell) and skeletal systems and their physiological responses via neural pathways to external stimuli. Underpinning these broader concepts is a detailed examination of electrophysiology i.e. ion channel structure and function, membrane potential, neurotransmitters and neurotransmission.
