Tissue Physiology and Structure

Catalog description

The physiology of tissues is intimately linked to their structure. Organ tissues out of homeostatic balance reflect consistent changes in their structure. Tissue physiology and structure explores the link between health and disease at the microscopic level by examining the interrelationship between micro-anatomical features and their function. Students will analyze the detailed structure and function of cells that comprise tissues, organs and organ systems, and how their structure dictates their specific physiological role in health and disease. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 210 and BIOL 211 .
