An introduction to parts of the brain that are in control of the process of movement. It gives a brief overview of the parts of the brain involved, before going into more detail about the function and explanation of the receptors, tissues, etc. involved in that area of the brain. It also includes information about the different types of pathways that areas of the brain used for signalling, as well as discussing some diseases that can have an affect on the pathway of the brain, which then impact ...

Gives an in-depth look into sensory physiology. This introduces you to the general properties of the sensory system to ease you into the lecture before going into the key properties and pathways. You are then introduced to the 4 different types of receptors that make-up the sensory pathway, first with a general overview and then each goes into more detail and explanation further down. There are examples throughout, such as the receptors that are found in the skin and their mechanism of action, a...

A nice overview of taste and smell, by giving definitions of each and showing the difference in chemical signalling between each sense. It explains the role of gustation and goes into detail about the ligands and receptors involved in the process of taste. It also explains physiological parts of the anatomy and the cells that are found within that anatomy. It then finishes off by talking about the mechanisms that are involved in the different cell-types found in the taste sense.

A brief introduction into the chemical process involved in the smelling process. Gives a nice introduction to the types of tissue and receptors involved. At the end of the notes, there is a a bit of background into covid-19 and how one of the main symptoms (loss of smell) came out and the biological and biochemical reasoning.

Contains a basic overview of how the ear picks up on sound, pitch, amplitude and frequency. Gives definitions of each part and relates back to human physiology

Contains the anatomy of the ear such as the ear drum, pinna and the cochlea. Goes on to give a more detailed account of each section that makes up the hearing apparatus and its overall function.

A small introduction that slowly introduces you to the vestibular system, its components, and its functions.

Contains a summary introduction of the physiology that makes up the eye. There are also some examples of disease that affect the photoreceptors and how they can be treated. As well as this it also contains visual diagrams to help learn the anatomy and you can also refer to the images if the explanations aren't as clear.

An introduction to photoreceptors located in the eye. Includes information about the cell types, molecules and receptors involved in photoreception.

Getting an understanding of what circadian rhythms are and how they were discovered. Involves a lot of case studies based around the circadian rhythm in plants as well as the understanding of hormones that control such rhythms.
