This course follows on from Biomedical Science Part 1 (HUBS1403). We will investigate the control of several systems which are vitally important to normal human functioning. We will study the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, how the body digests and assimilates food,controls fluid balance and protects itself from disease. Finally we look at reproduction and development of individuals and the genetics and evolution of the human species.

Objectives 1. To build on the strategies for self learning gained in first semester in Biomedical Science Part 1.
2. To employ critical reasoning skills in relation to the application of knowledge in the Human Biosciences area.
3. To understand the function and regulation of:
- The cardiovascular system
- The respiratory system
- The digestive system
- Excretion and fluid and electrolyte balance
- Immunity and defence against infection
- Reproduction and development
- The genetic code and its role in human evolution
4. To appreciate that the above systems do not act in isolation but must interact with each in order to ensure optimal function.
Content 1. The cardiovascular system
2. The respiratory system
3. Control of assimilation
