  3. Collect data in a laboratory environment, safely and effectively
  4. Communicate via a scientific laboratory report

Disgrifiad cryno

This module will introduce students to the anatomy and main physiological systems of the body and considers issues such as homeostatic balance and control. The module will provide the basis for development in subsequent modules such as, Sport and Exercise Physiology and Physical Activity for Health

Nod

To introduce students to the major physiological systems of the human body and their role in maintaining health and performance. To build practical and analytical skills essential for careers in sports science, biomedical research, physiotherapy, and health-related professions.

Cynnwys

• Endocrine system
• Cardiovascular system
-Heart Rate, ECG, blood pressure
• Nervous system
• Respiratory system
-Spirometry
• Muscular system
-Eccentric, Concentric, Isometric
-Length tension, force velocity
• Skeletal system
• Immune and Lymphatic systems

While sports and exercise science students will study the responses of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to physical activity and exercise, Biomedical Science students will instead study the digestive, renal and urogenital systems.
