Course introduction

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is the second course in the sequence designed to teach students the physiological mechanisms of animal body. Applied knowledge of this course with analytical thinking facilitates the understanding of the processes and how systems interact in the body with ultimate coordination by nervous system - HOMEOSTASIS , the basic motto of physiology. Learners appreciate the basic working of muscular, digestive and respiratory systems and their regulation by the nervous system.

Nervous system Muscular system
Digestive system Respiratory system

The objectives of this course are,

To assist undergraduate students in understanding

  • the complex dynamics of physiological process - thorough knowledge of this subject helps the student to develop the skill of understanding forthcoming subjects such as Pharmacology, Pathology, Clinical medicine, Anaesthesiology and Reproductive physiology.
  • the coordination of various structures and functions in the animal body.
  • the basic structural and functional charecteristics of muscular system and functions in different parts of the body.
  • the sequential organization and functions of digestive system, the functional capabilities and differences exist in the physiological anatomy of alimentary system in different animals.
  • the basic structural and capabilities of respiratory system in different animals

Overall knowledge gained from this course will help the learner to develop study skill ability and test taking skills.
