Physiology Courses

Physiology courses can help you learn about human body systems, cellular processes, and the mechanisms of homeostasis. You can build skills in analyzing physiological data, understanding metabolic pathways, and interpreting the effects of exercise on the body. Many courses introduce tools like physiological measurement devices, software for data analysis, and models for simulating bodily functions, that support applying your knowledge in health and fitness, medicine, or research settings.
