About the course

Aim

When the course is completed the student should be able:

To identify and explain anatomy and physiological function of organs and organ systems
To solve a physiological problem and to be able to identify and describe a physiological principle that is relevant to the physiological problem
To explain and identify physiological function using conclusions drawn from experiments

Content

Physiological function at an organ and organ system level: Nervous system, sensory organs, endocrine system, muscles, circulation and blood, respiration, kidney functions

Assignment:Problem solving in physiology as a small group. Each student identifies a physiological principle (listed below) important to the problem solved.Physiological principles:

Negative feedback regulation
Positive feedback regulation
Diffusion
Molecular flows and gradients
Cell to cell communication
Transport of electrical charges
Affinity between protein and ligand
Mass balance
