Scope: This subject is designed to impart fundamental knowledge on the structure and functions of the 
various systems of the human body. It also helps in understanding both homeostatic mechanisms and 
homeostatic imbalances of various systems of the body. Since a medicament, which is produced by the 
pharmacist, is used in various disease conditions to correct the abnormal functioning of the body systems, 
the basic knowledge of this subject is must for a student to understand how drugs act on various 
systems/organs in correcting the disease state of organs/systems. Thus it becomes a prerequisite subject 
for the pharmacy course.
