Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I Notes PDF
Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I (BP104T) unit-wise notes for B.Pharm Semester 1 — the biggest subject in the new syllabus, merging body structure, normal function, and disease mechanisms into one integrated course, mapped to the official PCI 2026 syllabus.
About the Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I Course
Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I is the largest theory course in B.Pharm Semester 1 under the PCI NEP 2026 syllabus, carrying 4 credits and 5 units. Unlike the older syllabus, where anatomy, physiology and disease mechanisms were spread across separate semesters, this single course now builds all three together — starting from the cell and moving outward to full body systems.
The course opens with cell biology and tissue organization, then explains how cells respond to injury through inflammation and adaptation — knowledge that underpins nearly every pharmacology and pathology topic a B.Pharm student will meet later. From there, Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I moves through the integumentary and skeletal system, the blood and lymphatic system, the peripheral nervous system and special senses, and finishes with the cardiovascular system — pairing normal structure and function with the common disorders that affect each one, such as anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Because Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology I sits right at the start of the pharmacy curriculum, a strong grip on it makes every later subject — pharmacology, pathophysiology in Semester 2, and clinical pharmacy in later years — noticeably easier to follow. Use the unit-wise notes below, then test yourself with the 25-question rapid quiz further down the page.

💡 Pharmacy Fact
BP104T is the heaviest subject in the new Semester 1 lineup at 4 credits — because it merges three things that used to be taught separately across different semesters: anatomy (body structure), physiology (normal function), and pathophysiology (what goes wrong in disease) into a single integrated course.
