Physiology – First Year MBBS

Teacher

Understand the fundamental mechanisms that govern life at a cellular level and how the body maintains balance.

Homeostasis: Master the concepts of the internal environment, negative and positive feedback loops, and feed-forward control mechanisms.
Cellular Transport: Detailed study of the cell membrane, including the Fluid Mosaic Model and various modes of transport such as diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
Body Fluids: Explore the distribution of water and electrolytes across the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments.

Explore the excitable tissues of the body and the life-sustaining properties of blood.

Nerve & Muscle Physiology: Study the Resting Membrane Potential (RMP), Action Potentials, and the sliding filament theory of skeletal and smooth muscle contraction.
Hematology: Learn the composition and functions of blood, the stages of erythropoiesis, and the mechanics of hemostasis and coagulation.
Immune System: Understand innate and adaptive immunity, the role of WBCs, and the clinical importance of ABO and Rh blood grouping systems.

A deep dive into the two most critical systems for oxygenation and nutrient delivery.

Cardiovascular Physiology: Covers the cardiac cycle (pressure and volume changes), ECG interpretation, and the regulation of blood pressure.
Respiratory Physiology: Master the mechanics of breathing, lung volumes and capacities (Spirometry), and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the respiratory membrane.
Applied Physiology: Understand physiological changes during exercise and adaptations to high-altitude or deep-sea environments.

To ensure a deep understanding of these complex physiological processes, the course includes:

High-Yield Notes: Concise summaries of essential physiological principles and clinical correlations.
Digital Flashcards: Interactive tools for memorizing normal values (e.g., blood cell counts, lung capacities) and physiological pathways.
Practice Questions: A bank of MCQs and SAQs modeled after integrated assessment patterns (Paper I, II, and III) to prepare you for end-of-module and annual professional exams.
Clinical Integration: Every topic is linked to clinical scenarios, such as jaundice, anemia, and heart failure, ensuring you learn physiology in a medical context.
