Start your online physiology class

with Thad Wilson, PhD, from Kentucky University

Physiology is the foundation of more complex concepts of pathology, in particular how disease processes are initiated when physiological processes are affected. However, the complexity of physiological processes across different body systems can be overwhelming.

This course covers the physiological processes of every organ system, including neurophysiology, musculoskeletal, cardiac and vascular, respiratory, GI and urinary, endocrine, and reproductive. Thad Wilson, PhD, from Kentucky University will help you grasp both the basic principles of physiology including the concept of homeostasis and the connections to how different disruptions in physiological processes lead to pathologies.

The combination of Video Lessons with interactive quiz questions, downloadable study materials, and a USMLE-style Qbank makes it easy to understand and retain the topics. By the end of this course, you will have a thorough understanding of human physiology, ready to apply this knowledge in your medical studies, exams, and future practice.

FAQs

What is physiology?

Physiology is the study of the normal function of living organisms. It can be investigated at the level of cells, tissues, organ systems, and the entire body.

Anatomy vs physiology: What’s the difference?

Anatomy is the branch of science related to the study of the structure of the living body, particularly through its dissection and the separation of its parts. Physiology focuses on how all these parts function and interact in a healthy body.

Why is physiology important?

As a future doctor, you need to know the “normal” (physiology) before you can recognize the “abnormal” (pathology). Students and physicians need to understand the mechanisms and pathways of the human body, how the body functions, and how to draw conclusions and fully understand what that can go wrong and how to deal with it.

How to study physiology

The most effective way to ace physiology is to combine different learning modalities. First, do a deep dive into the topic with video lessons hosted by experienced educators. Next, plunge into Lecturio’s comprehensive Concept Pages. Then, apply what you’ve learned by answering clinical case questions in the Qbank. Finally, make sure you retain information long term by regularly reviewing your knowledge with Spaced-Repetition quizzes.
