Introduction to Cellular Physiology
Learn more about the physiology of the cell, the laws of nature, and the forces of the Universe with this course.
Description
This course begins with an introduction to basic human physiology. You will learn that physiology is the study of the functions of the body at the cellular level. You will look into the levels of function and the relationship between structure and function in the human body, the effects of fundamental laws, concepts, and forces of the Universe, and the processes which distinguish living from nonliving objects. You will also study the laws of nature and the fundamentals of human biology.
You will then study cellular physiology, the major components of a typical animal cell, and the movement of materials into and out of a cell. You will look into the important functions of ATP and ADP in relation to energy, body fluids, the functions and characteristics of water, and homoeostasis. This course will also cover membrane potentials, cell growth and multiplication, epithelial cells and tissues, fibrous connective tissues, and fatty tissues.
Cell physiology is the branch of science that studies the structure and function of individual cells. Our increasing knowledge and understanding of cellular mechanisms and processes have led to great advances in all areas of biology and medicine. Upon the completion of this course, you will gain a better understanding of the structure and function of cells and the mechanisms and processes involved in cell physiology. Enrol in this course and enhance your understanding of cellular physiology today.
