Course Description
The objective of the course is to provide students the basic level of information about digestion, excretion, endocrine, metabolism, genital physiology. The details of the basic concepts and important physiological mechanisms of respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine system, reproductive system will be described. Kidney function, respiratory system, endocrine system, hormones, liver function, insulin-glucagon mechanism, metabolism, gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, skin physiology, structure of the eye and visual pathways, physiology of hearing, smell physiology, sensory physiology will be studied in detail. At the end of the course, it is aimed to gain the students basic level literature information in physiology thus able to use by homework, seminar, research planning preparation.
