The unit will cover the following topics: Endocrine system including the major endocrine glands and the effects of their hormones. Circulatory system which covers blood and vessels as well as hear anatomy and physiology; regulation of cardiovascular system will also be covered. Respiratory system: respiratory tract anatomy; ventilation and oxygenation; respiratory regulation. Digestive system: anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract and associated structures; physiology of digestion and absorption. Renal system: anatomy of the urinary system; physiology of urine formation. Reproductive system: male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology.

Participation requirements
Engaging in theory material is expected through listening/watching the online recordings. Material may be presented as short videos or prerecorded lectures. Students will also be provided with associated notes.
Laboratory attendance is expected. Non-attendance at laboratory classes is likely to diminish a student's ability to meet unit learning objectives and impair assessment performance. Laboratory attendance records will be kept and used as evidence of individual student engagement with the unit.
Required IT skills
It is expected that students will possess UC IT entry skills. Students are expected to use the Canvas site for this unit to access the required materials
