Human Physiology

Catalog description

Physiology is the science explaining body function at system, organ, cellular, and biochemical levels. This course explores the fundamentals of human physiology and its clinical applications. The target audience is advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying in the life sciences, many of whom plan to study clinical medicine disciplines in the future. Physiology is an integrative science discipline and thus will apply principles developed in previous biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics courses to problem solving situations. Core elements of this course include integrating science knowledge and applying science principles to develop a broad understanding of physiology systems and solve physiology problems.
