Human Physiology for Medical School & Faculty of Medicine

The course combines lectures, discussions, laboratory exercises, and problem-solving sessions

The science of life Human Physiology
This course offers a comprehensive explanation to human physiology, focusing on the fundamental mechanisms that govern the function of the body’s major systems. Students will explore cellular processes, tissue structure, and the coordinated activities of the muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, and endocrine systems. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding how these systems work individually and together to maintain homeostasis.

Throughout the course, students will develop a strong foundation in key physiological principles such as membrane transport, signal transduction, energy metabolism, and the integration of organ system functions. Case studies and clinical correlations will help bridge basic science with real-world applications, preparing students for advanced studies in health sciences, medicine, and related fields.

The course combines lectures, discussions, laboratory exercises, and problem-solving sessions to encourage active learning and critical thinking. Students will also engage in experiments and simulations to reinforce theoretical concepts and develop practical skills.

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain the physiological concepts of health and disease, apply physiological knowledge to new situations, and critically evaluate physiological information. No prior background in biology is required, though a basic understanding of high school biology is recommended.
