|
- Neural control and coordination: Neuron and nerves
- Nervous system in humans central Nervous system, peripheral nervous system and visceral nervous system
- Generation and conduction of nerve impulse
|
- Chemical coordination and regulation
- Endocrine glands and hormones
- Human endocrine system-Hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal, Thyroid, parathyroid, Adrenal, Pancreas, Gonads
- Mechanism of hormone action (Elementary idea)
- Role of hormones as messengers and regulators
- Hypo-and hyperactivity and related disorders (common
- disorders e.g. Dwarfism, Acromegaly, Cretinism, goiter, exophthalmic goiter, diabetes, Addison's disease).
