These extensive notes are based on the FLG 221 lecture notes and Human Physiology: an Integrated Approach textbook. The notes cover all the work in the module and have also been double checked using the learning outcomes in the study guide to ensure all the information was there. They also include all the necessary diagrams. I got a distinction using only these notes for the semester tests and exam.
