Physiology (2026/7)

These hebrew lecture notes are for the introductory BME one semester course in physiology and anatomy of the human body, given at Tel-Aviv University, during the 2026/7 academic year.  Note the version: the notes can and will likely be updated during the year, fixing typos and expanding material. This will be reflected in the version number.

​

• Physiology lecture notes, v1.0

​

Lecture notes (powerpoint) are also provided, and will be updated as the semester progresses:

​

• Lecture 1: Basic Principles in Physiology and Anatomy

• Lecture 2: Cellular Neurophysiology.

• Lecture 3: Neurophysiology.
