Human Physiology
The human body is a complex, integrated system that relies on precise physiological mechanisms to maintain homeostasis and sustain life. This module provides an in-depth introduction to human physiology, covering the fundamental principles that govern the function of cells, tissues, and organ systems. Students will explore the physiological processes that underpin human health, gaining insight into how the body¿s systems work together to respond to internal and external challenges.
The module begins with an overview of key physiological concepts, including homeostasis, feedback mechanisms, and the integration of body systems. Students will examine the structure and function of key organ systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, endocrine, and musculoskeletal systems. Topics will include neural signalling and communication, cardiovascular dynamics and circulation, gas exchange and respiratory control, digestion and nutrient absorption, renal function and fluid balance, endocrine regulation of metabolism, and the mechanics of movement.
Emphasis will be placed on understanding physiological responses to environmental changes, exercise, and disease. Students will also explore the cellular and molecular basis of physiological function, and the role of hormones in systemic regulation. Additionally, the module will introduce fundamental concepts in pathophysiology, highlighting how disruptions in physiological processes can lead to disease.
Through a combination of lectures, dry laboratory practical sessions, and interactive workshops, students will develop both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in human physiology. Hands-on sessions will provide experience with physiological measurements and experimental techniques, reinforcing the relevance of human physiology to medical science, biomedical research, and healthcare applications.

Ffisioleg Ddynol
Ffisioleg Ddynol yw astudio sut mae ein cyrff yn gweithio mewn ffordd integredig. Egwyddor sydd wrth wraidd ffisioleg ddynol yw homeostasis, sef cynnal amgylchedd mewnol cymharol sefydlog. Os na chynhelir homeostasis, bydd yn amharu ar swyddogaeth arferol a allai arwain at glefyd (neu bathoffisioleg). Caiff myfyrwyr eu haddysgu am gysyniadau allweddol homeostasis yn systemau ffisiolegol y corff, gan alluogi'r myfyriwr i ddeall canlyniadau pathoffisioleg i iechyd pobl.Rhoddir pwyslais ar y ffordd y mae methiannau systemau ffisiolegol allweddol yn arwain at glefyd, gan ddefnyddio enghreifftiau penodol i alluogi myfyrwyr i werthfawrogi'r berthynas rhwng ffisioleg/anatomeg a meddygaeth.Caiff egwyddorion sylfaenol ffisioleg eu hesbonio ag enghreifftiau clinigol priodol ac yn ystod darlithoedd ac mewn aseiniadau ymarferol.Bydd myfyrwyr yn cael profiad ymarferol o asesu swyddogaeth ffisiolegol yn ystod pedwar ymarfer yn y labordy. Asesir effaith pathoffisioleg mewn systemau o'r fath drwy astudiaethau achos clinigol.
