Human Physiology in Extreme Environments

Catalog description

Environmental stimuli as drivers of body function, failure, and death, highlighting physiological responses to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic homeostasis. Analysis of basic and applied research reporting on the effects of altitude (climbing and diving), temperature (heat and cold stress), space travel (microgravity), and associated pathologies. Emphasis on physiological patterns, endpoints, clinical reasoning and interventions.
