Master Physiology II – Digestive, Excretory & Nervous Systems – Notes, Case Studies & Practical Insights

About Course

This comprehensive course on Physiology II covers the Digestive, Excretory, and Nervous Systems, providing Agriculture and Veterinary students with detailed notes, practical case studies, and applied insights to understand system functions, regulatory mechanisms, and clinical relevance. Designed for exam preparation and real-world application, it offers research-backed examples and step-by-step guidance to enhance understanding and problem-solving skills – all taught by Sonika.

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
