 536-211 Physiology:Control of Body Function

Note

  1. This subject replaces 536-201 (prior to 1997) and 536-211 (1997). Successful students in these subjects cannot gain credit in this subject.

  2. The study of the Physiological processes has been spread across the whole year and is taught in combination with 536-201. The combination of 536-201, 536-211 together with the practical subject 536-202, is the basic requirement for selection into third year Physiology (see the '300-level Subjects' entry in the departmental preamble).
