VISION
The physiology department seeks to fulfill the society need with highly qualified medical staff and scientific researchers capable to provide the medical field needs, alleviate medical problems.

MISSION
The department of medical physiology is responsible for teaching the science of human physiology to the medical students (2nd year) as it is a basic material in studying medicine. The department starts with an introduction to human physiology, and then provides the basic knowledge on the functions of the different body systems and organs, the department is dedicated to relate some clinical problems to the deviation from the normal physiology.
Through their study courses at the department of medical physiology, the students continue learning the essentials of the human physiology and its special terms.

GOALS

1. Outline scientific understanding and applications of different physiological concepts.
2. Describe the principles of physiological mechanisms to instill a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the human body.
3. Distinguish between normal and abnormal performance of the body systems.
4. Clarify the interrelationships of body organ systems with all regulatory mechanisms that control their activities.
5. Expand learning through medical journals, books and the internet.
6. Act upon the basic scientific knowledge that the student receive to do scientific research and medical studies.

OBJECTIVES

1. Define the functions of different body systems.
2. Describe the mechanism of action of different body systems and the sequence of events that accompany these actions.
3. Estimate the normal values with regard to different biological conditions.
4. Illustrate the degree of deviation in the normal functions of different body systems in some clinical disorders.
5. Provide scientific explanations for different physiological changes accompany some clinical disorders.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS
In addition to traditional lectures, tutorials, demonstrations and practical sessions are used to conduct the syllabi of the curriculum. For this, power points and video recordings are used for teaching.
