Summary
Basic sciences play an essential role in medical education. This is emphasized by the fact that most clinical specialties thrive on and live by the conceptual mechanisms and theories introduced in pre-clinical courses (Wilson et al, 2009). A good knowledge of basic science gives us the tools we need to critically appraise information all of which translates into better patient care (Donnel, 2006). Physiology is one of the important subjects from basic science. For a medical student, knowledge of practical physiology is helpful to understand the pathophysiology of diseases, to explain manifestation of diseases, to provide physiological basis for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (Pal & Pal, 2001)
