Catalog description

Instructional Method: Three hours lecture. Prerequisites: A grade of “C” or better in BIOL 311 , or permission of instructor. This advanced course is intended to provide students with fundamental knowledge of physiology with emphasis on the central concept of homeostasis and the mechanisms of select diseases. It is expected that most students enrolling this course have aspirations to become health care professionals or will continue on to graduate programs related to physiology. Since health care professionals must be able to explain basic physiology and disease conditions to their patients, students in this course will be responsible for preparing and giving some lectures on mechanisms of disease.
