Medical Physiology

Embark on a comprehensive journey through human physiology in this extensive course spanning 39 hours. Delve into the intricacies of fluid homeostasis, capillary exchange, and membrane potentials before exploring the nervous system and muscle physiology. Examine cardiovascular and respiratory systems, including cardiac output, blood pressure regulation, and gas exchange. Investigate renal physiology, acid-base balance, and endocrine function, covering thyroid, calcium regulation, and adrenal glands. Study metabolic regulation through insulin and glucagon, and explore gastrointestinal physiology. Conclude with reproductive physiology, fertilization, and an introduction to sensation and pain. Gain a thorough understanding of the human body's complex physiological processes through detailed lectures and in-depth discussions.
