Human Physiology?

Question

I'm taking human physiology this upcoming semester. Its an advance science course that I have to take. I heard some people say you have to take biochem first, or know some stuff about biochem before taking this? Is human physiology really difficult?

I have already took general chemistry 1, and general biology 1 and 2. All of those classes I have made an A in. However, I really hate chemistry.

Answer 1

it really isnt harder than biology or chemistry. you can appreciate the details more if you have taken organic, or biochemistry, but it isnt a must. If you are allowed to take it without taking biochem first then do it. maybe it is a pre requisite at your school so be sure to check.  

Answer 2

PHYSIOLOGY ISNT NECESSARILY HARD, THERE IS JUST ALOT OF INFORMATION AND MEMORIZATION.  IM SURE YOULL BE FINE WITH MAKING A'S IN THE OTHER COURSES.  IT NOTHING LIKE CHEMISTRY.  

Answer 3

Human Physiology is not difficult if it is studied with interest.main thing is that we have to understand it deeply. For that definitely Biochemistry will pay a role especially while dealing with metabolism.

Answer 4

I don't know that you can say for sure if it will hard or easy for you, it depends to some extent to how detailed the course is. The human physiology courses I took as a Master's student in nursing were much more complex than the ones I took as an undergrad biology student and an undergrad BSN student. The medical students have even more difficult courses. I do not think biochemistry is necessarily a requirement before taking physiology. It would not hurt of course. I also did not really enjoy organic and inorganic chemistry courses, but took them and did well in them as an undergrad biology student. However, I really enjoyed biochemistry -- it was like day and night for me. So don't be afraid of biochem!  I think that there is a good chance that if you like biology, you will like biochemistry!
