This unit will develop and integrate skills and knowledge gained in previous units in anatomy, physiology, general pathology, to examine disease processes in the major organ systems: integument, alimentary, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphoid, nervous, urinary, musculoskeletal, haemopoietic and endocrine. The unit develops approaches to investigating and diagnosing disease, along with terminology in pathology, skills in interpreting serum biochemistry, haematology and other clinical pathology data, and the ability to predict, describe and interpret the effects of disease on the major organ systems.
