Course objectives
This course covers the introductory principles and concepts of human physiology. Students will learn and understand the basic principles, concepts and facts of human physiology. The course will examine cellular, organ and whole body levels of organization with special focus on the relationships between structure and functions. As an elementary course, physiology not only provides the foundations for the subsequent clinical courses, but also integrates the knowledge acquired by students in the courses of anatomy and histology and uses the same methodology as clinical biochemistry and medical physics.
