Course Learning Outcomes: Upon the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

No	Learning Outcomes
1	To familiarise students with and cultivate their perspectives in physiological mechanisms taking role in the functioning of the body.
2	To enable students to cherish a deeper level of understanding in homeostasis and physiological systems.
3	Molecular biologists should able to understand how their specific research could/would relate to the anatomy, physiology and clinics. hence, it is vital to improve vocabulary necessary for understanding of the articles published in clinical fields.
