COURSE OBJECTIVE
To understand the structure and function of human cells, tissues, and organ systems.

To explain key physiological processes in blood, renal, respiratory, cardiac, and sensory systems.

To interpret normal and abnormal physiological data relevant to health and disease.

To apply foundational knowledge of anatomy and physiology in clinical and diagnostic contexts.
