Medical Physiology

About this course

Medical physiology is the study of how the human body functions: the mechanisms by which the heart pumps blood, the lungs exchange gases, the kidneys filter plasma, the nervous system coordinates movement and sensation, and the endocrine system regulates metabolism and reproduction. It is a discipline that sits at the heart of medicine and healthcare, providing the scientific basis for understanding how disease disrupts normal function and how treatments restore it. A thorough grounding in physiology is essential for anyone working in clinical healthcare or biomedical research. At Middlesex University, the degree develops your understanding of human physiology across all of the major organ systems, alongside the analytical and laboratory skills needed to investigate physiological function. You will study cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurological, endocrine and musculoskeletal phy
