About the Course
Human body is a maze of systems, networks and pathways interacting with one another in a dynamic equilibrium. This maintenance of harmony is called homeostasis which involves a regulation of variables so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant despite changes in external conditions.
In this course on biochemistry of homeostasis, we will carry out a systematic study of acid-base balance, hydrogen ion dynamics and how respiratory and metabolic disorders affect this acid-base homeostasis. We will also study about glucose homeostasis and its regulatory mechanisms in great detail.
All complex concepts have been made simple by the usage of 3D animations and excellent flow charts.

Course Delivery Format
This course is delivered entirely online. It consists of a series of comprehensive lectures by a professor in the subject, appropriately annotated with slides, animations and wherever necessary, interactive content. The delivery offers tremendous flexibility. You may pause a teacher while you refer to your textbooks (not includes) and to take notes. You may also rewind a segment to listen to the teacher again or you may skip a slide or two if you already know that bit. You may bookmark a segment that you wish to return to later, maybe to refresh just before your exams. While the lessons in this course may be arranged in a particular order based on our curriculum, you have the flexibility to take them in order of your preference based on your personalized learning needs.
Benefits
While this course is to help you learn the subject from an online faculty, it may help you in several ways even if you are already enrolled in some medical, dental or paramedical school. Many of our students felt that the format in which this course is delivered has helped them to cope up against the fast paced lectures in actual class – it’s like having a TV remote in class to self-pace your teacher. Animations help understand concepts better by making concepts easy to understand… and difficult to forget
