Course Syllabus
Title : Integrated
Sciences-I (PHYSIOLOGY)
Course
No : 703
Time : 1.5
Credit
Placement :
year 1, First Semester
Course Description:
This
course is built on and adds recent development and discoveries to, the concepts
and knowledge from the biological and physical sciences already studies by
student of diploma in nursing. Knowledge, principles and concepts are brought
to gather in an integrated course, selecting related content from various
sciences necessary for a basic understanding of the physiology process in the
human body. This is lab based course.
Course Objectives
At the
end of this course students will be able to:
·
Describe active & passive transportation
across the cell membrane in the body in order to maintain the fluid -
electrolyte balance.
·
Discuss selected scientific principles behind
the working of various systems in the body.
·
Explain the cellular energy and important physiology
and pathophysiology descriptions, which occur in human body.
·
Demonstrate the degenerative disorders response
to external stimuli and metabolic pathway.
