BIO 324 - Human Physiology for Health Professions (4)

Prerequisite: For successful completion of this course, it is recommended that students are familiar with BIO 125, BIO 126 or their equivalents.

This course offers a systems-based approach to examine the processes that determine body function. An emphasis on shared cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the functions of each organ system will allow in-depth explorations of the control processes that regulate them as well as applied inquiry in clinical and pathological contexts, providing practical insight for future health professionals. At the conclusion of the course students will be able to explain the basic components of systems physiology, particularly those associated with the neuromuscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and endocrine structure and function.
