2.2 Unity and conflict
This unit examines the role that Scots played in contributing to the developments in healthcare during the nineteenth century. The radical transformation of medicine in Europe included the admission of women as doctors and the increased numbers of specialised institutions such as asylums. Such developments were also influenced by wider social, economic, political and cultural backgrounds – these are also examined.

Gamete production (that is, production of mature cells able to unite with another in sexual reproduction) in both men and women is introduced
