Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
-understand the complementarity of physiological systems and the complexity of underlying physiological mechanisms of human body function as a whole
-recognize the structure and function of the various cells, tissues, organs and physiological systems of the human body
-apply the basic principles and functions of physiology to sports and physical education
-describe the basic principles and mechanisms of physiology
-emphasize the importance of promoting and ensuring the good health of the individual and society as a whole
