Course description
The homeostasis is a basic thinking in physiology. There are huge numbers of cells in human body. In this class, we learn about basic knowledge of human cell physiology. The physiological fields are huge. I would like to recommend to register physiology 1 and 2.
Purpose of class
This class is focused on cell physiology.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understanding cell physiology. How to keep homeostasis.
  2. To understanding the basic function of cells in human
  3. To understanding the relationship between age-related diseases and dysfunction of homeostasis.

Evaluation method and criteria
The lecture distributes prints every time, or students print from within the distribution folder dedicated by lectures (either instructed during lecture). The judgement of unit is based on the results of the interim and final exams. The examination range is chosen from textbooks, prints, additional materials, power point slides at the lecture and contents described orally. If you can understand these contents, you can get a score of 80%. You can get the remaining 20% ​​points if you can understand the relationship with familiar diseases described additionally in the lecture (eg Alzheimer's disease and neurotransmission failure, mechanism of action of Alzheimer's disease treatment drug). The points of interim and final exam are explained in the lectures. Attendance management of this class is made in the attendance management system. Multiple absences shall be deemed to have no intention to acquire the unit, and you are not be ale to pass. Any other detail explanations will be given in the first lecture. Physiology is very complicated. Therefore, make sure to prepare and review every time.
