I) GOAL
The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in physiology aims at
providing the student comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions of the
organ systems of the body to facilitate an understanding of the physiological
basis of health and diseases.
II) EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
1) At the end of the course, the student will be able to: describe the normal
functions of all the organ systems, their regulatory mechanisms and interactions
of the various systems for well-coordinated total body function.
2) Understand the relative contribution of each organ system in the maintenance
of the milieu interior (homeostasis).
3) Explain the physiological aspects of normal growth and development.
Analyse the physiological responses and adaptation to environmental stresses.
4) Comprehend the physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment
of disease.
5) Correlate knowledge of physiology of human reproductive system in relation to
National Family Welfare Program.
III) SKILL :
At the end of the course the student shall be able to :
1) Conduct experiments designed for study of physiological phenomena.
2) Interpret experimental/investigative data.
