AimThe main aim of the human physiology course is to understand the normal functioning of the human body, comprehend physiological processes, and examine how the organism is regulated to maintain homeostasis. This course provides students with a detailed overview of the human body's essential functions, organ systems, and biological processes at the cellular level. It also aims to give students a basic understanding of health and disease states. This knowledge allows students to act more effectively and consciously in their work in their field.
Course ContentThis course contains; Basic Concepts in Physiology: Organisation of the Human Body, Body Fluid Compartments and Control Systems,Cell Physiology and Membrane Transport Pathways,Muscle Physiology,Blood Physiology,Cardiovascular System : Heart,Cardiovascular System : Circulation,Immune System,Respiratory System,Excretory System,Digestive System and Metabolism,Nervous System : Central and Peripheral Nervous System,Sensory System,Endocrine System,Reproductive System.
