Major topics of discussion include cell, cell junctions, blood and body fluids, muscle physiology, digestive system, renal physiology and excretion, endocrinology, reproductive system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system and environmental physiology, nervous system, and special senses. Topics in special senses include field of vision, visual pathway, auditory pathway, auditory defects, and color vision. Topics in nervous system include nerve fibers, neuroglia, somatosensory system, hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, vestibular apparatus, electroencephalogram, cerebrospinal fluid and autonomic nervous system. Some of the other important chapters include homeostasis, plasma proteins, erythropoiesis, platelets, edema, neuromuscular junction, disorders of skeletal muscle, liver and gallbladder, gastrointestinal hormones, kidney, renal disorders, thyroid gland, female reproductive system, fertility control, electrocardiogram etc.
