Catalog description

This is the second of four courses that explore human physiology and pathophysiology. The course examines the anatomy, histology, and cellular physiology of organ systems of the human body and specifically focuses hematology and the function of the cardiovascular and renal systems. The molecular, cellular, and physiological changes associated with representative diseases will also be discussed. Additional emphasis will be placed on the use of modern experimental approaches that take advantage of cellular and molecular technologies to better understand normal and pathological physiology. Class will include lectures as well as discussions of relevant research papers. Prerequisite: Human Physiology I (PHSL 821), an equivalent course, or consent of Course Director.
