Course Description


Welcome to “General and Neuromuscular Physiology” — a comprehensive and engaging course designed for anyone looking to master the essential foundations of human physiology.

Whether you're a pre-med student, nursing or allied health student, or simply someone fascinated by the inner workings of the human body, this course will provide you with the conceptual clarity and clinical insight you need to excel in your studies and future healthcare career.


What This Course Covers

We begin with a solid introduction to general physiology, focusing on how the human body maintains balance and function. You’ll explore:

  • Homeostasis – the central theme of physiology, and how it governs everything from temperature control to fluid balance.

  • Body fluid compartments – understanding extracellular vs. intracellular fluids, and how this impacts function at the cellular level.

  • Transport across cell membranes – including diffusion, osmosis, active transport, and facilitated transport, with real-life physiological examples.

  • Bioelectric potentials – where you’ll dive into the Nernst equation, resting membrane potential (RMP), and the detailed process of generating and propagating an action potential.

From there, we transition into the neuromuscular section, where physiology meets function:

  • Structure and function of neurons and skeletal muscle fibers

  • Neuromuscular transmission – how nerve signals are transmitted to muscle

  • Excitation-contraction coupling – how a signal leads to movement

  • Muscle contraction types and the sliding filament theory

  • Real-world clinical correlations, including conditions like myasthenia gravis, demyelinating diseases, and more

Each topic is broken down with clear explanations, diagrams, and real-world clinical insights, ensuring that you not only understand the “what,” but also the “why” and “how.”


What You’ll Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Explain the foundational principles of general human physiology

  • Describe mechanisms of homeostasis and membrane transport

  • Understand and apply concepts like the Nernst equation, resting membrane potential, and action potential

  • Explore the structure and function of the neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscle

  • Apply physiological knowledge to real clinical scenarios and basic diagnostic reasoning


Who This Course is For

This course is ideal for:

  • Pre-med, nursing, dental, and allied health students

  • Students preparing for MCAT, NEET, or other entrance exams

  • Anyone beginning their journey into medical or health sciences

  • Current students who want a clear and engaging supplement to classroom learning

  • Curious learners who want to understand how the human body works

No advanced background is required—just a basic understanding of biology and a willingness to learn.
