Organ system approach to physiology in order to understand normal function of the human body from the submolecular and cellular levels to the whole organism; emphasis on the development of a mechanistic understanding of organ system function and integrated physiological function across systems to promote homeostatic regulation in the human body.

Human Physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical and biochemical functions of humans, their organs, and the cells of which they are composed. The content of this course focuses on six levels of physiological organization: molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, system and whole-organism. All of the major body systems are studied relative to their function, with an emphasis on how these systems are integrated with each other and how they relate to the functional characteristics of the whole organism.
