Learning outcomes
In course Summative SAQ’s and OTLA SAQ’s ( 4 x pieces summative)
Formative SAQ’s and MCQ’s
- Explain the physiological concepts of structure and function using examples drawn from the principal body systems and functions.
- Appraise the physiological adaptions to these systems that occur during exercise and how these systems can be disturbed by disease.
- Describe the core concepts of pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics
- Explain the key principles of clinical pharmacology
- Relate how drugs are discovered and developed within the modern pharmaceutical industry.
- Recall examples of drugs and how they can be used to treat and modify the pathophysiology of various common diseases and conditions.
- Explain the neuroscience concepts of structure and function within the nervous system at the cellular, circuit, and network-level.
- Describe how structure and function can be measured experimentally.
- Describe how structure and function can change during development and pathological dysfunction.
- Demonstrate a good understanding of: the diversity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; the basic concepts of chemistry and how this helps us understand the structures and functions of the principal macromolecules of cells including proteins and an introduction to enzymes; DNA replication and cell division;
the structures of DNA and RNA, and the enzymology of aspects of their replication, transcription and translation; energy metabolism in micro-organisms, plants and animals; carbohydrates: structures and roles; lipids and cell membranes, including transporters, channels and cell signalling; intracellular structures, including organelles, cytoskeleton and molecular motors; how to appreciate genetic and biochemical approaches involved in exploring cell biology
Reflective Essays (x 2)
