Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives: It aims to gain basic information about the structure and functions of the human body from the cellular level to the level of systems. After a short introduction, the topics of muscles, nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, excretory system, digestive system, endocrine system and reproductive system will be discussed.
Course Content: Physiology is the science of understanding how complex living organisms function from cellular level to organ systems level. This introductory course will focus on the fundamental concepts of human physiology. After discussing cell physiology, organization of human body and control systems, individual organ systems will be covered. Measurement techniques and the information that we can obtain from the collected physiological signals will also be covered.
