1.1 HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY (THEORY)

Theory: 3 Hrs. /Week

1. Scope and Objectives: This course is designed to impart a fundamental


knowledge on the structure and functions of the human body. It also helps
in understanding both homeostasis mechanisms and homeostatic imbal-
ances of various body systems. Since a medicament, which is produced by
pharmacist, is used to correct the deviations in human body, it enhances
the understanding of how the drugs act on the various body systems in
correcting the disease state of theorgans.

Upon completion of the course the student shall be able to:


a. describe the structure (gross and histology) and functions of various
organs of the humanbody;
b. describe the various homeostatic mechanisms and their imbalances of
various systems;
c. identify the various tissues and organs of the different systems of the
humanbody;
d. perform the hematological tests and also record blood pressure, heart
rate, pulse and respiratoryvolumes;
e. appreciate coordinated working pattern of different organs of each
system;and
f. appreciate the interlinked mechanisms in the maintenance of normal

16
functioning (homeostasis) of humanbody

route of administration, precautions, contraindications and interaction with
other drugs. In this subject, drugs acting on autacoids, respiratory sys-
tem, GIT, immune system, hormones, pharmacology of autocoids and dif-
ferent aspects of genes will be concentrated. In addition, pharmacology of
