Attention is given to understanding how those systems and concepts are related to higher order physiological phenomena such as: 1) Our ability to sense stimuli and respond (nervous system, endocrine system, lymphatic system, and immune response); 2) The complex mechanisms/requirements for homeostatic regulation (relationship between nutrition and metabolism and water and ion balance in the human body); 3) Reproduction and fertility?. Case studies and laboratory activities incorporate problem solving and applications to health sciences within a student-centered, active learning environment. Strong emphasis on experimental design and execution. Analysis of data using statistical methods. prereq: C- or better in 2331
