The basic principles that underlie the operation of the human body’s various systems and processes are covered in Physiology 1, along with the ways in which they interact to maintain the body alive and in proper condition. The course provides basic background information on homeostatic mechanisms and  cellular communication, endocrine physiology, metabolism, reproductive physiology, the muscular system, blood physiology and immunology, wound healing and thermoregulation, experimental methodology and technological advances.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students should be able to discuss the molecular and cellular pathways responsible for physiological processes as well as how their dysregulation leads to the generation of pathology.
