Physiology itself is a very detail-oriented subject dealing with the functioning of the body’s systems.
It is an interesting subject however, it gets tough to retain all the theories while we study.

One method is to make flowcharts while you study a physiology topic–> but why???

  1. Easy to put step-by-step complex functions into a simple step-by-step flowchart not only helps us to understand the process better, but also helps us to retain and memorize it better.
  2. helps to identify relationships between different steps and enzymes
  3. easy to analyze the topic, especially the night before a test or exam.
  4. It is quick to revise, no stress to the brain, no stress to our eyes
  5. Highlighting what information is important for you to memorise can also be done via flowcharts.

What do you think about flowcharts? Are they important or are they overrated ??

Flowcharts are of immense value in many subjects, more so in Biochemistry. Also in clinical subjects, flowcharts are of value when it comes to diagnosis (DD), and management protocols.

Flowcharts turn overwhelming topics into organized and digestible insights.

  • simplify complex topics by breaking them into clear, sequential steps making them easier to grasp
  • enhance memory and recall by visual representation
  • serve as excellent summaries for last minute revision before exams
  • clarify cause effect relationship reinforcing logic behind bodily functions
  • help trace pathophysiology guiding diagnosis and thus treatment.

Flowcharts are important in most of the medical subjects. It’s important in physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, etc.
It helps us to grasp the concept and steps in a mechanism of action very easily.
It becomes very precise version of what have been given as detailed under the topic, making some of us (including me) an eager to read.
