Physiology-Spring 23/24 Biruni

Physiology

Students will learn about the physiology of key body systems, including the heart’s role in pumping blood and regulating rhythm, the structure and function of bones in growth and repair, and the mechanisms of muscle contraction and types of muscle tissue. They will explore the skin's protective, regulatory, and sensory functions, and understand the processes of action potential generation and propagation in neurons. Additionally, students will study neurotransmitters and their role in transmitting signals across the nervous system, influencing mood, behavior, and muscle function. This integrated approach helps students grasp how these systems work together to maintain overall body function and respond to internal and external stimuli.
