Overview
In Homeostasis, you study the physiological systems which
underpin the body's regulation of its internal environment and its
responses to external threats. This includes nerve function,
neuromuscular transmission, muscle, circulation, respiration,
excretion, water balance, digestion, absorption, metabolism and
thermoregulation. There are related practical classes in experimental
physiology and histology (the microscopic structure of tissues).
