Human Physiology

About this course

Human physiology is the scientific study of how the body's systems function, from the electrical signals that control the heart and the biochemical reactions of metabolism to the coordinated responses of the immune system and the mechanics of breathing and movement. It is one of the foundational disciplines of the biomedical sciences, giving you the knowledge base needed to understand health, disease and the biological effects of exercise, nutrition, ageing and clinical intervention. The discipline combines molecular and cellular understanding with the study of whole-organ and whole-body function, asking how individual components work together to sustain life. At Manchester Metropolitan University, this three-year programme develops your understanding of the fundamental principles of human physiology, with the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research alongside academics and doct
