Physiology is the study of normal function within living creatures. ... Merrian-Webster defines physiology as: “[A] branch of biology that deals with the functions and activities of life or of living matter (such as organs, tissues, or cells) and of the physical and chemical phenomena involved.”

Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical function of humans, and serves as the foundation of modern medicine. As a discipline, it connects science, medicine, and health, and creates a framework for understanding how the human body adapts to stresses, physical activity, and disease.

My responsibility is to teach students about Special senses, Endocrinology and Reproductive Physiology.

The classic five senses are sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. The organs that do these things are the eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin. The eyes allow us to see what is nearby, judge depth, interpret information, and see color. Noses allow us to smell particles in the air and identify dangerous chemicals.The principle function of the special sensory receptors is to detect environmental stimuli and transduce their energy into electrical impulses. These are then conveyed along sensory neurons to the central nervous system, where they are integrated and processed, and a response is produced.

The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that secrete hormones within specific organs. ... The endocrine system provides an electrochemical connection from the hypothalamus of the brain to all the organs that control the body metabolism, growth and development, and reproduction.

Some examples of bodily functions that are controlled by the endocrine system include:

• metabolism.
• growth and development.
• sexual function and reproduction.
• heart rate.
• blood pressure.
• appetite.
• sleeping and waking cycles.
• body temperature.

  Common Endocrine Disorders

• Type 1 Diabetes.
• Type 2 Diabetes.
• Osteoporosis.
• Thyroid Cancer.
• Addison's Disease.
• Cushing's Syndrome.
• Graves' Disease.
• Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
•  
• 

• The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure survival of the species. Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for survival of the individual.

  Reproduction can be defined as the process by which an organism continues its species. In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells ( gametes), are involved: the male gamete (sperm), and the female gamete (egg or ovum).

• At the end of this course the students must know about Optics of Vision, Retina, Accomodation, Visual Pathway, Errors of Refraction, Hormones, Endocrine Disorders, Calcium Metabolising Hormones, Insulin, Glucagon, Diabetes Mellitus, Male and Female Reproductive Physiology.

The following books are recommended for this course; 

• Textbook of Medical Physiology, Guyton and Hall
• Review of Medical Physiology, Ganong,W.F
• Physiology Board Review Series, Costanzo, Linda S
• Medical Physiology by Jaypee

At the end of this course, written(MCQs and SEQS) and viva test shall be held which would add up to the internal assessment of the students. Before annual prof, a sendup exam will be taken.
