Overview

The course introduces to Semester 2 students on the basic structures and functions as well as organization of the human physiology. The course covers the fundamentals of human physiology, the organs and structures, and the complex processes the human body undergoes. The course discusses also the complex processes of the human body. Lecture and laboratory covers the topics from the basic structures, functions, histology and the general physiologic processes carried out by the different systems.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:

1- Teach the student the basics of human physiology in its terms

2- Know the importance of the physiological processes of the human body

3- Classification of a wide range of cells, tissues, organs, and various body systems.

Mental skills:

1- Contribute to the development of the student's mental and applied skills by following the latest methods of theoretical and practical academic education and how to apply this information in practical life.

2- How to implement various principles that improve various human diseases caused by physiological diseases.

3- Application of all principles of basic physiological activities

Scientific and professional skills:

1. Formation of a scientific basis for the student in physiology to build medical expertise.

2. Deepening the ability to develop and innovate by integrating scientific and theoretical background with professional competence.

3. Work to enhance scientific and professional skills with practical experiments and the rules of scientific research in the field of physiology
