Welcome to the Wikiversity Department of Human Physiology.

The Department of Human Physiology is a Wikiversity content development project where participants create, organize and develop learning resources for human physiology.

The "topic" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Topics).

Department news

 * 9 September 2006 - Department founded!

Request from School of Medicine
Could someone with experience in physiology please add content to the following pages:
 * Maternal Anatomy and Physiology
 * Physiology of the Menstrual Cycle

Learning projects
See: Learning Projects and the Learning model.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets – ).

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
