BIOL3728C: Human Physiology

Abstract

Goals: To gain a fundamental understanding of basic principles of physiology in an integrated fashion. Understanding how each organ system operates at both a cellular level and functional level is the first goal, with gaining an appreciation of how the various organ systems work in a precise and cooperative way. Objectives: To learn in detail the mechanisms of normal function of organ systems. Specific diseases will be discussed to reinforce the normal physiology, as well as to apply the understanding of the normal state to the pathologic state. Clinical case studies will be discussed as well.
