Learning outcomes
Human physiology is the study of the human body functions. This includes the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of humans in normal health from organs to the cells of which they are composed. The human body consists of many interacting systems of organs, these contacts to maintain homeostasis, keeping the body in the stable state. The endocrine and nervous systems play major roles in the reception and transmission of signals that integrate function in animals. Homeostasis is a major aspect with regard to such interactions within plants as well as animals. The biological basis of the study of physiology, integration refers to the overlap of many functions of the systems of the human body, as well as its accompanied form. It is achieved through communication that occurs in a variety of ways, both electrical and chemical.
Students should acquire the basic theoretical as well as practical knowledge necessary for understanding of normal functions of organs and systems, their relations, and how they are controlled.
