1: Introduction to Physiological Principles
1. Describe the levels of biological organisation studied by physiologists. 2. Use examples to show how the laws of chemistry and physics are relevant to understanding physiological systems 3. Outline how evolution results in diversity of both form and function and strong links between them in animals 4. Discuss the processes involved in physiological regulation at multiple time scales
