Course Objectives
 To provide an understanding of topics of physiology including
Nervous system, blood, CVS, and special senses and their possible
experimental basis, and to enable students to acquire specialized
knowledge.
 Use analogies to teach difficult or hard-to-visualize topics to their classes
by relating these target concepts to more commonplace analogs with
which their students may already be familiar.
