Physiology-I Syllabus - DPT

This document outlines the course description, learning objectives, and content for a 3-credit physiology course. The course is designed to study human body function at the cellular, tissue, and organ system levels, focusing on mechanisms of life processes and diseases. Key topics covered include cell physiology, the nervous and muscular systems, blood, and laboratory work investigating the body through techniques like microscopy, blood counts, and clotting tests. Students are expected to keep a practical notebook collecting evidence of their learning.

PHYSIOLOGY- I CREDIT HOUR 3(2-1)


COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is designed to study the function of the human body at the
cellular, tissue and systems levels. The course will help students in
understanding the complexities of the cells, tissues, and major organs and
systems of the human body, concentrating on basic mechanisms
underlying human life processes and important diseases affecting normal
human function

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 Define the terminology related to the structure and function of the
human body systems
 Compare and contrast the structural and functional characteristics
of the various human body cells
 Describe basic chemical concepts and principles as they apply to
the structure and functioning of the blood and neuromuscular
system
 Analyze the interrelationships of body organ systems,
homeostasis, and the complementarity of structure and functioning
of the blood and neuromuscular system
 Demonstrate advance techniques to investigate the body and
interpret data to be used for diagnosis and treatment
 Define the principles behind medical instrumentation and their
usage

collection of evidence that learning has taken place. It is a reflective record
of their achievements
