Course Overview
Physiology and Biochemistry course has been intended for the students concentrating on the subject of zoology at school or college level according to the UGC approved educational program. The course will cover the basic parts of physiology and biochemistry including introduction, the foundation of degree and history of both aspects. Moreover, this course can likewise be selected by undergraduates of other branches of biological science.
Physiology is the part of science that manages the typical elements of living life forms and their parts. Biochemistry is the part of science which is worried about the substance and physicochemical cycles that happen inside living life forms. Physiology and biochemistry both are the significant parts of science which have their own importance in different fields including paramedical, medical, toxicology, cardiology, pharmacy, and many more.
Physiology itself contains a huge number of branches, for example, blood physiology, renal physiology, regenerative physiology, neural physiology, muscle physiology and so on, and these all branches extraordinarily centres around how these organs work in a joint effort with one another.
Biochemistry causes us to comprehend our catalysts, particularly how they work? What are they composed of? Why do we feel hungry? Why do we take in glucose when we feel frail? Why do we feel tragic? It likewise helps in the conclusion of breaking down of body frameworks by giving diverse biochemical tests that can quantify our body liquids and components and gives us the clue to keep up these pivotal components in their ideal level.
