Objectives of the Course To explain how the human body functions at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and systemic levels. Additionally, to describe/highlight how the function and structure of physiological systems are closely related.
Course Content The course will be making the students familiar with principles of physiology by covering physiological systems. Students will understand physiology, and pathology of body systems and how they relate to maintain homeostasis.
Course Methods and Techniques The course will be making the students familiar with principles of physiology by covering physiological systems. Students will understand physiology, and pathology of body systems and how they relate to maintain homeostasis.

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