This subject details the organisation, structure and function of the body with an emphasis on the role of the nervous and endocrine systems on control, regulation and movement. Anatomy and physiology, including of bones, joints and muscles, will be studied to understand movement and how it is controlled and regulated by the central and peripheral nervous systems. Topics will include bone growth and repair, muscle contraction and the nerve-muscle interface, as well as the role of neurons in communication.
