Overview

Embark on a comprehensive journey through human physiology in this extensive course spanning 39 hours. Delve into the intricacies of fluid homeostasis, capillary exchange, and membrane potentials before exploring the nervous system and muscle physiology. Examine cardiovascular and respiratory systems, including cardiac output, blood pressure regulation, and gas exchange. Investigate renal physiology, acid-base balance, and endocrine function, covering thyroid, calcium regulation, and adrenal glands. Study metabolic regulation through insulin and glucagon, and explore gastrointestinal physiology. Conclude with reproductive physiology, fertilization, and an introduction to sensation and pain. Gain a thorough understanding of the human body's complex physiological processes through detailed lectures and in-depth discussions.

    This course was awesome. The lecturer's potential in delivering this course was moreover more that inspirational. I liked the way he brilliantly used the best illustrations to better describe every thing that was being taught. I was really interested in taking this course and the skills I have got from this is going to help me to better understand more other things in my future academic journey.
