The course gives the student a clear insight into the structure and function of the most important organs and organ systems composing the human organism. General physiological properties and functions of living cells are discussed as well. On successful completion of the modules on Human Physiology students will be able to:
- Describe the fundamental mechanisms underlying normal function of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the human body.
- Understand the principles of the systems of the human body that coordinate all physiological functions and explain the basic mechanisms of homeostasis.
- Apply knowledge of functional mechanisms and their regulation to explain the pathophysiology underlying common diseases.
- Identify and utilize appropriate reference resources to clarify and expand knowledge of Physiology. Such knowledge will enable the student to understand relevant scientific literature and offers the basis for the courses on Nutrition.
