L2: Homeostasis-maintaining physiological variables
- Explain the underlying principles of physiological homeostasis, including the importance of negative feedback
- Describe the role of the autonomic nervous system in physiological control

L3: Muscle Cell Function
• Describe the basic structure of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle.
• Describe how the membrane potential changes in different muscle types and it’s role in triggering contraction.
• Recognise the central role of Ca in muscle contraction.
Describe the process by which changes in membrane potential elevate Ca and trigger contraction in cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle – the process of excitation-contraction coupling.
