This course on Medical Physiology aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the human body's physiological processes. By the end of the course, students will have learned about fluid homeostasis, capillary fluid exchange, membrane potential, nervous system function, muscle physiology, blood composition, cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, renal function, endocrine regulation, and gastrointestinal and reproductive physiology. The course utilizes a lecture-based teaching method and is designed for individuals interested in gaining knowledge about the intricate workings of the human body.

This course was awesome. The lecturer's potential in delivering this course was moreover more that inspirational. I liked the way he brilliantly used the best illustrations to better describe every thing that was being taught. I was really interested in taking this course and the skills I have got from this is going to help me to better understand more other things in my future academic journey.
