Contents of the Course Unit |
This course provides a comprehensive study of the physiology of the human body. This course is the first course in a two-course sequence and will cover the topics of general concept, structural and functional organization, homeostasis, homeostatic imbalance, regulation of body functions, the importance of water in the body, exchange between blood, capillaries and interstitial fluid, the cell and its functions, transport across membrane, simple diffusion, osmosis, carrier mediated transport, vesicular transport, junctions between the cells, the cell cycle and genes control of protein synthesis, physiology of the skeleton and muscular system, types of contraction, regulation of contraction, energy source for muscle contraction, blood, the lymphatic system and immunity, the endocrine system, the nervous system, and special senses. |
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education |
Course enables the students to examine the mechanisms of body function, organized around the central theme of homeostasis – how the
