(5) HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY INCLUDING BIO-PHYSICS
(i) Goal :
The broad goal of teaching Physiology to undergraduate students aims at providing the
student a comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions of the organ systems of the
body to facilitate an understanding of the Physiological basis of health and disease.
(ii) Objectives:
(a) KNOWLEDGE:
At the end of the course, the student shal be able to:
1. Explain the normal functioning of all the organ systems and their interactions for well
coordinated total body function.
2. Assess the relative contribution of each organ system to the maintenance of the
milieu interior
3. Elucidate the Physiological aspects of normal growth and development
4. Describe the Physiological reasons and adaptations to environmental stresses.
5. List the Physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of disease.
(b) SKILLS:
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
3. Distinguish between normal and abnormal data derived as a result of tests which
he/she has performed and observed in the laboratory.
(c) INTEGRATION:
At the end of the integrated teaching the student shal acquire an integrated knowledge of
organ structure and function and its regulatory mechanisms.
1) Source and functions of Reticulo-endothelial system;
2) Structure and sequence of events at Neuro-muscular junctions, Neuro-muscular
blocking drugs and clinical disorders pertaining to Neuro-muscular junctions;
3) Structure of Gastric glands, composition and functions of gastric juice. Regulation of
gatric, secretion Cytoprotection and peptiulcer;
4) Gastro-intestinal hormones ? Source of production, structure and functions;
5) Blood pressure ? Structure of Blood Vessels ? Neural regulation, Hormonal
regulation;
6) Anatomical location of Respiratory centers ? Neural & chemical regulation of
respiration;
58
7) Microcirculation-Structure ? Mechanism of filtration and regulation of
Microcirculation;
8) Counter-current Multiplier and exchange system ? functions ? clinical importance;
9) Thyroid gland ? structure, synthesis ? Metabolism of Thyroid hormones ? Actions of
Thyroid hormones ? Disorders of Thyroid glands;
10) Pituitary gland ? histological structure ? Hormones of Anterior pituitary;
11) Ovary ? Structure, endocrinal regulation ? Structure and mechanism of female sex
hormones and contraception;
12) Histology of cerebral cortex, Neural circuits and their importance;
13) Histology of Retina ? Synthesis of Photopigments ? Light and dark adaptation ?
Central pathway and its lessons.
