Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. develop an opportunity to review the physiological concept of systems taught; 2. outline thoroughly the physiological concept of systems taught; and 3. demonstrate the concept using available equipment to medical or junior physiology students. Course Contents Review the Physiological concept of systems taught. Understand the physiological concept of systems taught thoroughly. Enable them to demonstrate the concept using available equipment to Medical or more junior physiology students.
