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. |
