Introduction
Human physiology deals with studying the normal functions of the human body, the cell and its organelles, and tissues. This also includes study of the different systems of the human body like blood, muscle physiology, Nerve physiology, Cardiovascular system, Respiratory system, Gastro intestinal system, Excretory system, Central Nervous system, Special senses, Endocrinology, Reproductive system, Lymphatic system, Reticulo endothelial system, Skeletal system, Sports Physiology, Aviation physiology, High altitude physiology, Underwater physiology, Physiology of Yoga and meditation. How all these systems will work together in a coordinated manner to maintain the health of the human body called Homeostasis. Physiology will be taught in coordination with other medical subjects to understand disease processes better.
