| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Explain the basic role of homeostasis and related mechanisms in human physiology.
- Understand and evaluate the cardiovascular systems and the locomotion and support systems in the body.
- Comprehend the knowledge of the structure and functions of the nervous system and endocrine systems that are the main control systems in the body and answer the questions.
- Interpret knowledge about the basic steps in the digestion and absorption of food and in the regulation of water and inorganic ions in kidneys.
- Comprehend the immune system and reproductive system and answer the questions.
- Make a connection between physiology and molecular biology genetics in applications related to the subject; gain an overview of research on human genetic diseases and make written and oral presentations on a case-by-case basis.
