Course Description

This course explains the structure and functions of the organ systems of the human body, physiological processes, homeostatic control mechanisms and their coordinated activity within the total body system. Main topics of the course are related to cell, organization of the nervous system and muscle physiology. Cell membrane, functions of the organelles, homeostasis, transport across the cell membrane, body fluid compartments, regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, membrane potentials, action potentials, excitable tissues, general properties of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle, mechanisms of muscle contraction, synaptic transmission, peripheral nervous system, cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular system will be discussed in detail.
