It’s an Unofficial Course.

This course provides a comprehensive and systematic understanding of human physiology, focusing on how the human body functions at cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels. It is designed to help learners build strong foundational knowledge while also developing the ability to integrate physiological concepts across different body systems.

The course begins with the basic principles of physiology, including levels of organization, homeostasis, control systems, and essential cellular processes such as membrane transport, electrical potentials, and cell-to-cell communication.

Learners will explore the nervous and endocrine systems in detail, gaining insight into how the body maintains coordination, regulation, and internal balance. Topics include neuron function, synaptic transmission, sensory and motor pathways, autonomic regulation, hormonal signaling, feedback mechanisms, and the physiological roles of major endocrine glands.

These concepts establish a clear understanding of how rapid neural control and slower hormonal regulation work together to maintain normal body function.

The course then examines cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, explaining how the heart, blood vessels, and lungs work together to deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing metabolic waste. Students will learn about cardiac structure and function, electrical activity of the heart, blood pressure regulation, breathing mechanics, gas exchange, and respiratory control, with an emphasis on the integration of these systems during rest and physiological demands.

Renal and gastrointestinal physiology are covered to explain fluid balance, electrolyte regulation, acid–base balance, digestion, absorption, and waste elimination. Learners will understand nephron function, urine formation, hormonal control of kidney activity, gastrointestinal motility, digestive secretions, and nutrient absorption, highlighting how these systems support metabolic homeostasis.

The course also covers muscular physiology, detailing skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle structure and contraction mechanisms, energy utilization, and functional differences between muscle types. Immune system physiology is introduced to explain innate and adaptive defenses, immune cells, inflammation, and coordinated immune responses essential for protecting the body against disease.

Finally, reproductive physiology is addressed, focusing on male and female reproductive systems, hormonal regulation, the menstrual cycle, and the basic physiological processes involved in reproduction and pregnancy.

Throughout the course, complex concepts are explained clearly and logically, making the material accessible to beginners while remaining rigorous enough for medical, nursing, and health science students.

By the end of the course, learners will have a solid understanding of human physiology and the ability to connect physiological mechanisms across body systems in both academic and applied contexts.
