Aim	Physiology is the study of how the body works: the ways in which cells, organs and the whole body functions, and how these functions are maintained in a changing environment The aim of this subject are to induce the students who acquire the basic theories and knowledge of the course and gain relative basic skill training. By studying, the students should achieve such level: --to distinguish the microscopic anatomy of the healthy human body; --correlate microscopic morphology and function at the organ levels; --and relate cell biology, histology and embryonic development to disease processes. To teach fundamentals of pathology and introduction to clinical pathologyThe aim of this subject are to induce the students who acquire the basic theories and knowledge of the course and gain relative basic skill training. By studying, the students should achieve such level: --to distinguish the microscopic anatomy of the healthy human body; --correlate microscopic morphology and function at the organ levels; --and relate cell biology, histology and embryonic development to disease processes.
