01:146:356 Systems Physiology (3)
- CBN Core Courses: CBN Upper Level Courses
- Credits: 3
- Fall & Spring Synopsis
Physiology according to American Physiological Society is the study of life. Physiological studies of normal function provide the basis to understanding abnormal function- at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and whole animal levels. In this context, Systems Physiology will help students understand body functions and their regulation at the organ systems level (mammals including humans).
Prerequisites: General Biology I and II (01:119:115-116), General Chemistry (01:160:161-162) or Honors General Chemistry (01:160:163-164), and Intro Experimentation (01:160:171). Credit not given for both this course and Animal Physiology Lab (11:067:300). (Fall, Spring, Summer)
