Learn Physiology II (Digestive, Execratory and Nervous system) with Sonika

About Course

Physiology II explores the structure and function of the digestive, excretory, and nervous systems in animals and humans. This course provides a detailed understanding of how these systems maintain homeostasis, regulate body processes, and interact with other organ systems. Designed for students in veterinary, animal science, and health sciences, it builds essential knowledge for clinical practice, diagnostics, and advanced biological studies.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
✅ Understand the anatomy and physiology of the digestive, excretory, and nervous systems
✅ Explain the processes of digestion, absorption, and waste elimination
✅ Describe nerve impulses, synaptic transmission, and brain function
✅ Identify interrelations between the nervous and other body systems
✅ Apply physiological knowledge to practical and clinical scenarios
