About Book
This course provides a foundational understanding of the structure and function of the human body, progressing from the cellular level to complex organ systems. It integrates anatomy (structure), physiology (function), and pathophysiology (disease mechanisms) to help students understand how the body maintains homeostasis and how alterations lead to disease.
The course begins with cell biology and tissue organization, including cell communication and injury mechanisms. It then covers major systems such as the integumentary system, skeletal system, blood and lymphatic system, peripheral nervous system, special senses, and cardiovascular system.
Special emphasis is placed on:
• Mechanisms of cell injury and adaptation
• Inflammation and repair
• Common diseases like anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and sensory disorders
This subject builds a strong base for pharmaceutical sciences, enabling students to relate drug action with physiological and pathological conditions.
