Paper Presentation

Curriculum

Goal
The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Physiology is to make them understand the scientific basis of the life processes at the systemic and molecular level and to orient them towards the application of the knowledge acquired in solving clinical problems. Knowledge
At the end of the course the student will be able to:

  • Explain the normal functioning of all the organs systems and their interactions for well coordinated total body function
  • Assess the relative contribution of each organ system to the maintenance of the milieu interior
  • Elucidate the physiological aspects of normal growth and development Describe the physiological response and adaptations to environmental stresses
  • List physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of disease



Biophysics
  • Physical principles of transport across cell membranes and across capillary wall.

  • Bio-potentials

  • Physical principles governing flow of blood in heart and blood vessels.

Skills
At the end of the course the student shall be able to:
  • Conduct experiments designed for study of physiological phenomena; o Interpret experimental/investigative data
  • Distinguish between normal abnormal data derived as a result of tests, which he/ she has performed and observed in the laboratory.


Integration

At the end of the integrated teaching, the student shall acquire an integrated knowledge of organ structure and function and the regulatory mechanisms.
