Module description
***This module is under development***
In this module you will be introduced to the organisation of the peripheral nervous system and will explore how the autonomic nervous system regulates the function of the heart, peripheral circulation (the cardiovascular system) and respiratory systems. You will gain an understanding of cardiac muscle physiology, electrical control of the heart, regulation of cardiac output, neuronal and hormonal regulation of the vascular system and how the respiratory system provides homeostatic control of blood gases and acid/base balance. Selected cardiovascular and respiratory diseases that can arise when the regulatory control mechanisms break down will be introduced.
