- L14 Compose a detailed description of the physiology of blood and white blood cells in the context of physiotherapy and rehabilitation, including the structure and function of blood cells, hematopoiesis and the immune response. Demonstrate an understanding of the process of blood disorders and their impact on physical function and health, including the role of risk factors, diagnosis and treatment. Observe and analyze blood samples using experimental techniques such as microscopy, staining and flow cytometry. Reason about the role of blood cells in maintaining physical function and health, and the impact of blood disorders on the recovery and rehabilitation process. Theorize about the physiological significance of blood cells in maintaining homeostasis and coordinating the body's response to internal and external stimuli in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
