After completing the course students should be able to define basic physiological concepts, understand the mechanisms of the various bodily functions and explain how the regulatory mechanisms maintain equilibrium and function following a disturbance of equilibrium in a given physiological system.
The course will provide an understanding of the biological basis of human physiology.
The course covers topics such as neurophysiology, blood cells and function, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory and exercise physiology, heat balance and temperature regulation, renal regulation and acid / base balance, endocrinology and reproduction, digestion and nutrition.
At the end of the course, the student should have the following learning outcome in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge: Students should have..
a broad knowledge of the body's regulatory mechanisms for maintaining balance and function in pathological conditions that lead to disruption of the body's physiological system
- within the themes of:
Skills: Students should be able to..
