Human Physiology Chapters for NEET Preparation

Different topics covered under Human Physiology have been enlisted below.

• Digestion and Absorption
• Breathing and Exchange of Gases
• Body Fluids and Circulation
• Excretory Products and their Elimination
• Locomotion and Movement
• Neural Control and Coordination
• Chemical Coordination and Integration

Digestion and Absorption:

The chapter makes you learn about the digestive system of human body and how nutrients are absorbed for different cellular processes. Human digestive system comprises mouth, stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, small intestine, and big intestine. Alimentary canal, role of different digestive glands, functions of gastrointestinal enzyme are some of the key topic.

Breathing and Exchange of Gases

Breathing is a simple involuntary reaction of taking in and taking out air. It is different from Respiration which refers to the process of the breakdown of the food/glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy for different cellular and molecular processes. This chapter focuses on human respiratory system, breathing mechanism and its regulation, and transportation of gases.

Body Fluids and Circulation

The topic is related to human circulatory system that is made up of heart, veins and blood vessels. It covers detailed study of circulation of bodily fluids in different parts of the body, properties of blood, RBC, WBC, difference between open and closed circulatory system, disorders such as hypertension, coronary artery diseases.

Excretory Products and their Elimination

The metabolic process is always on in different organs in human body and as a result energy in the form of ATP is generated. Along with ATP, nitrogenous wastes such as urea and uric acid is also generated by cells that needs to excrete out to preserve internal chemical balance. This is performed by excretory system. This topic focuses on human excretory system, modes of excretion, role of different organs, excretory products, and different disorders.

Locomotion and Movement

There is marked difference between locomotion and movement. Locomotion is ability of movement from one location to another while movement is complex process. The latter involves voluntary or involuntary action performed by muscles. This topic focuses on types of movement contractile proteins, muscle contraction, and skeletal system.

Neural Control and Coordination

Human Nervous system is the focussed area of this chapter. Nervous system of which brain is an important constituent controls all voluntary and involuntary actions within the human body. Neurons, nerves, reflex action, nerve impulse, structure and functions of eye and ear are some of the key subtopics.

Chemical Coordination and Integration

This chapter gives insight into the role of hormones in performing various metabolic chemical reactions. Endocrine glands and their hormones, their roles, and disorders are some of the important subtopics which need to be studied in details to prepare this chapter.
