Course Description
The course is a continuation of BIYO103 and starts with a short description of the systems in the human body. The course deals with the neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurochemistry of the central nervous system and specifically the brain. The students are provided with a body of knowledge on how the organismal biology operates and how it is related to cellular/molecular biology. The coverage of the course includes understanding of homeostasis, the chemical foundations of life and their relationship towards psychopathology, the skeletal and the muscular systems. The course aims to provide a body of knowledge for operations of sensory mechanisms and their interactions with daily life of the human beings.
