Overview

Explore a comprehensive 12-hour physiology course covering a wide range of bodily systems and processes. Delve into topics such as gastric acid physiology, inflammation, liver function, nephrology, respiratory system, reproductive system, myology, and cardiovascular anatomy. Learn about DNA replication, cell biology, hemostasis, bone homeostasis, temperature regulation, and immunology. Examine the renin-angiotensin system, G protein signaling, pain perception, and various digestive processes. Investigate respiratory control, bilirubin metabolism, fracture repair, lipoprotein physiology, and alcohol metabolism. Study visual pathways, hematopoiesis, lung function, oxygen transport, and pain pathways. Analyze cardiac output regulation, fluid and electrolyte balance, hormonal influences, and reflex mechanisms. Gain insights into specific conditions like strep throat and different types of shock.
