Physiology
(4)HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY INCLUDING BIO-PHYSICS
(A)PHYSIOLOGY
(i)GOAL:
The
broad goal of teaching physiology to undegraduate 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 shall be able to:
1.Explain the normal fuctioning of all the organ systms and their
interactins for well coordinated total body fuction:
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 pathogeneis and treattment
of disease.
(b)skills:
At
the end of the course, the student shall be able to:
1.conduct
experiments designed for study of phytsiological phenomena;
2.interpret
experimetnal/investigative data:
3.distinguish
between normal and abnormal data derivedas a result of tests which he/she has performed and observed in the lab
oratory.
(c)INTEGRRATION:
At
the end integrated teaching the student shall acqure an integrated knowledge
of organ structure and function and its regulatory mechanisms.
(B)BIOPHYSICS
(i)GOAL AND OBJECTIVES:The broad goal of teaching Biophysics to undegraduate students is that
they should undersand basic physical principles involved in the fucnctiong of
body organs in normal and diseased conditions.
Total
time for teaching Biophysics=5hours
Out
of which :1 diasdatic lectures=3hours
2 Tytirua/group discussion=1 hour
4.Practical
= 1 hour
(ii)
Topic distribuion:dedaatic lectures:
(i)Physical Principles of transport across cell membranes and
across capillary wall.
(ii)Biopotentials.
(iii)Physical principles governing flow of blood in heart and
blood vessels.
Also
physical principles governing flow of blood in heart and blood vessels.
Also
pyysical principles goverming flow of air in air passages.
(2)
Tutorial/group discussion : on the topics covered in didactic lectures.
(3)
practicals:
Demonsrtation
of :
a)Biopotential on oscilloscope
b)Electro Encephalogram(E.E.G)
c)Electro Myelogram (E.M.G)
d)Electro Cardiogram (E.C.G.)
