Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The purpose of the lesson is to evaluate the mechanisms of biologic and metabolic processes in cells, tissues and organs and to see the interactions between various systems in a healthy organism. It enables the pharmacy students to understand how body Works and why diseases develop, what the underlying mechanisms are and how to choose proper therapeutics.
Course Content: Within this course, introduction to physiology functional organization of the human body and control of the “Internal Environment” the cell and its function, Musculoskeletal System Physiology, Nervous System Physiology, Sensory Physiology, Circulatory System Physiology, Blood Physiology, Respiratory System Physiology, Gastrointestinal System Physiology, Urinary System, Endocrine System Physiology will be studied.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Identify and define basic terminology associated with physiology and pathophysiology.
2) Identify and discuss the structure and function of each major body system.
3) To understand the mechanisms of biologic and physiologic processes in a healty organism and an understanding of the changes in abnormal physiological and common pathological conditions
