Overview

This course is concerned with providing the student with the basic principles of the nature and structure of the organs of the living body and the suitability of that structure for the functions of different organs. It also provides the student with the necessary information about food groups and their importance to the bodies of living organisms, a comparison of the functions of organs in different types of animals, and how these functions are synergized by different organs in animals.

Intended learning outcomes

1.Knowledge of the biological function of living cell activities including experimental physiology and molecular physiology.

2. Understand how the body's biological organs and biomolecules carry out chemical and physical processes.

3. Know the functional activity of living matter activities, whether at the level of the whole organism or its organ or at the level of the cell or part of it.

4. Understand how this function is performed, what are the factors affecting the function, and how this function is integrated with other functions.

Teaching and learning methods

· Theoretical lectures using aids such as illustrations, PowerPoint presentation and videos.

· Laboratory activities by conducting laboratory experiments and pickling the results.

Discussion panels for scientific reports and practical assignments for each application

Methods of assessments

Methods of evaluating students in this course: (semester work 40% and final 60%)

Semester work: divided between written midterm exams, oral test assignments and assignments, submission of a report or presentation of the total 40

Practical final exam 10 and theoretical final exam 50
