This module will provide you a functional account of some major body structures, to complement the anatomical knowledge acquired in an earlier module. Central to this is an appreciation of the importance of feedback control, and the module will stress the integration of the systems considered, and the interaction of some of these systems. To this end, the initial section of the module will use thermoregulation to illustrate basic ideas concerning feedback control, and the section on cell exchange and excitable cells will provide a framework of knowledge which will repeatedly be applied in studying the function of various physiological systems.
