Course Objective

The purpose of this course is to provide information about basic physiological concepts, regular functioning principles of human body from cells to systems and basic physiological mechanisms on the basis of systems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

2   Will be able to explain the elements that make up the cell structure, the transport of substances from the cell membrane, the formation of membrane potential and action potential.
3   Explain the functions of the central and peripheral nervous system, the structure of neurons, the functions of the blood-brain barrier, the formation and functions of the cerebrospinal fluid.
4   Explain muscle physiology, contraction-relaxation process in striated and smooth muscle.
5   Explain the physiology of the heart and circulatory system.
6   Explain the physiology of the respiratory system
7   Explain the physiology of blood and blood components, hemostasis mechanisms.
8   Explain the physiology of the gastrointestinal system.
9   Explain the urinary system physiology.
10   Explain the physiology of the reproductive system
11   Explain the regulatory role of the endocrine system and the effects of major hormones.
12   Know the physiological functioning of the sense organs (skin, smell, taste, sight, hearing).
