Objectives of the Course Physiology aims to teach the basic mechanisms of all organs and systems and the regulation of these things starting from the cell, which is the basic building stone of the human organism. It aims to teach the mechanisms of human organism to work together and in harmony with each other to maintain homeostasis in changing internal and external conditions and to gain the authority to look at the organism as a whole. By teaching all the basic physiological mechanisms in the human organism, it aims to be the indispensable basis for the learners to learn the mechanisms of diseases.
Contents of the Course Biological control systems: homeostatic mechanisms and cellular transport (membrane transport, transport mechanisms), neural control mechanisms (membrane potentials, diffusion); Central nervous system; Hormonal control mechanisms; Skeletal muscle system; Coordinated body functions: blood circulation system, respiration, kidneys, digestive system, growth and reproduction, body defense mechanisms.
