Objectives of the Course Explaining how the human body functions at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and systemic levels.
Describing the function and processes of physiological systems
Course Content The course will be making the students familiar with principles of physiology by covering physiological systems. Students will learn multiple areas of biological organization, from tiny atoms to complex systems. Students will understand physiology, and pathology of each body system and how they relate to maintain homeostasis.
