Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to understand the basic functions and physiological processes of the human body. Within the scope of the course, the mechanisms that explain the functioning of the body from the cellular level to the system level are discussed, and it is aimed to enable students to realize scientifically based and conscious applications in the field of health. In addition to homeostasis, which is essential for health professionals, cell and tissue physiology, electrophysiology, nervous and sensory system, musculoskeletal system, blood and circulatory system, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems and endocrine system are examined in detail. In addition, it is aimed to provide comprehensive information on wound healing processes and to evaluate physiological mechanisms from a holistic perspective.
Course Content: Course content includes introduction to physiology, cell physiology, tissue physiology, electrophysiology, nervous system physiology, sensory physiology, muscle physiology, blood physiology, cardiovascular system physiology, respiratory system physiology, urinary and reproductive system physiology, endocrine system physiology and digestive system physiology.

In each course, small midterm exams, question-answer activities or short quizzes on previous topics are applied. Although these assessments are not included in the grading of the course, they allow students to consolidate their knowledge and identify the topics they are missing. Thus, the learning process is supported by reviewing topics that are not understood or forgotten.
