| 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. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; At the end of this course students will be able to; explain the processes of formation and maintenance of homeostasis in the body from the level of cell to the level of organ systems explain the structure and function of the each organ system in human body describe the regulatory mechanisms of the organ systems and the relationship between different organ systems describe how we able to collect data about the health status of the subjects and about several physiological processes that take place in human body describe the information that can be obtained about body via different measurement techniques (e.g. blood sample, electrophysiological data like ECG and EMG, pulmonary function tests) |
| 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. |
