Demonstrate an understanding of the role of the kidneys in blood pressure and ion homeostasis ġ2. Demonstrate a generalised understanding of body-fluid balance via its primary inputs (fluid intake) and outputs (water losses) ġ1. Demonstrate an understanding of the neural processes involved in respiratory physiology ġ0. Explain the processes involved in the control of pulmonary blood flow ĩ.

Identify and describe the central and peripheral cardiovascular responses to acute heat exposure Ĩ. Identify and describe the factors involved in the autoregulation of cardiac function ħ. Demonstrate an understanding of the role of the autonomic nervous system in the control of cardiac output Ħ. Demonstrate an understanding of scribe the roles of the endocrine system in relation to normal function and homeostasis of the body, as well as disease states ĥ. Demonstrate an understanding of the control systems that function to regulate energy metabolism in different physiological states (fasting/feeding, physical activity), and how they are affected in pathological states (diabetes mellitus, obesity, thyroid disorders) Ĥ.

Demonstrate an understanding of the biochemistry of nutrient metabolism and the factors contributing to the homeostasis of energy in the human body ģ. Demonstrate an understanding of control theory as it relates to homeostasis Ģ. On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:ġ. Regulatory abnormalities accompanying certain pathological states are also emphasised. While topics may vary from year to year, these will typically include the fundamentals of neurophysiological and endocrine control, with detailed treatment of cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and renal system control. This subject is an extension of first year Physiology and Anatomy and covers material essential to the understanding of physiological control and regulation pertaining to whole-body homeostasis.
