Level/year at which this course is offered: (2nd Level) First Year 4. Course general Description: The course is offered to first-year undergraduate students where they should study the physiology of the cell, cardiovascular (heart, blood vessels, and blood), urinary, respiratory, gastrointestinal, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems. The aim of this course is to help the students acquire relevant information of direct clinical bearing without unnecessary details of pure academic importance. Further, it is desired to foster habits and attitudes of independent learning among the students, hoping that they develop the ability to keep themselves abreast with the latest developments in the fields of their interest. 5. Pre-requirements for this course (if any): CLS 113 6. Co-requisites for this course (if any): None 7. Course Main Objective(s): 1. To provide students with an appropriate background covering the common and important subjects under normal circumstances. 2. To enable the development and application of appropriate professional attitudes, communication and problem-solving skills in the field of physiology. 3. To achieve a good understanding of the mechanisms of body functions. 4. To learn the basics of clinical laboratory investigations. 5. To develop the ability of individual deductive thinking, analysis & interpretation of data. 2.
