- Basic concepts in physiology: How physics and chemistry determines physiology, emergent properties of molecular assemblies, molecules-cells-tissues-organs-systems, integration of biochemical reactions in physiology
- Symmetry of human body: Gravity as determining factor of symmetry
- Homeostasis: Need to maintain steady-state conditions, perturbation, interactions with environment, functioning of organ systems to maintain homeostasis
- Tissue structure and function: Tissues as building blocks of physiological systems, types and functions of tissues, different organ systems
- Maintenance of body fluid homeostasis by physical processes: Cardiovascular system
- Maintenance of body fluid homeostasis by biochemical processes: Functions of blood
- Maintenance of body fluid homeostasis by combination of physical and biochemical
processes: Kidneys and excretory system
- Interaction of body fluid homeostasis with the environment: Respiration and digestion
- Coordination of physiological functions: endocrine system
- Reception of external stimuli: Special senses
