Descripción

This course is designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge of the general structure and function of the human body. Lectures will emphasize the concept of homeostasis and the relationship between homeostatic imbalance and diseases. Moreover, this course lays the foundation for the basic understanding of future classes such as pathophysiology, pharmacology and pharmacotherapy which are crucial in formulating evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
