Who can take this class?


This course aims for students of
nutrition major, who do not have
extensive science backgrounds,
to provide with the organized
understanding how body works.

What will we learn?

What is physiology?
Physiology explains how the
body works
by using biochemistry, cell
biology, genetics,..., etc.
from cellular or molecular
level to whole body scale

It begins to see the big


picture understanding body
function not as a collection
of unrelated phenomenon
but as a connective whole.

Attention/participation
Attendance: Students are expected to attend ALL
lectures. This is because I will provide more than
facts by demonstrating how students should think
about concepts and apply them to the physiological
conditions. This insight is not always available from
subscription notes or the textbooks.
Participation: Students are also expected to
participate actively during the class and these counts
towards your grade.
