Certain physiology concepts can be difficult for students to understand, and new strategies need implemented teach these concepts. Cell signaling is a core concept in presented undergraduate starting with their first-year Principles of Biology course. Flipped teaching (FT) combined dramatizations were used steroid hormone protein cell an Animal Physiology Student knowledge level improved, as de...

Strange, Kevin. The end of “naı̈ve reductionism”: rise of systems biology or renaissance of physiology? Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 288: C968–C974, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00598.2004.—Systems biology is an emerging discipline focused on tackling the enormous intellectual and technical challenges associated with translating genome sequence into a comprehensive understanding of how organisms are b...

We have introduced echocardiography into the physiology courses for medical students to improve their understanding of cardiac physiology. Echocardiography allows a visualization of the events of the cardiac cycle and facilitates the correlation of anatomic structures with their physiological functions. The students record views on the human heart in the long and short axis, they follow wall an...

INTRODUCTION Teaching renal physiology for undergraduate medical students in an understandable way using methods which improve their deep learning has always been a problem. In this study, Early Clinical Exposure (ECE) was used in teaching renal physiology for the second year medical students in Shiraz Medical School. This article aims to introduce and develop this program and also measure the ...

The discipline of physiology is challenging to teach. It has ill-defined boundaries and no agreed sequence for learning; students' needs depend on the goals of the specific degree programs in which they are enrolled. Internationally, it is taught under many different conditions, using a range of strategies, to a wide variety of groups. All teachers are subject to local constraints and the avail...

We have developed a station method to offer combined cardiovascular and respiratory physiology exercises all in one laboratory period during our medical physiology course. This laboratory was designed for first-year medical students in order to minimize equipment costs, maximize efficient use of both student and faculty time, and facilitate integration of basic cardiovascular concepts with thos...
