Physiology is the core curriculum of medical schools, revealing the basic mechanisms of life phenomena from different levels (cells, molecules, tissues and organs) and different aspects (electrical, mechanical and secretory activity). Using online micro-video, group discussions, literature review and traditional teaching, the students master the basic knowledge of physiology, understand the frontier in the field of physiology, and analyze the relevant clinical cases. Finally, the students can understand the occurrence and development of these diseases, clinical manifestations and principles of treatment. This course will improve students' abilities of autonomous learning, communication, organization, coordination and cooperation.
