    Description
    This course presents the essential concepts of physiological mechanisms for the functioning of the human body. Emphasis will be given to regulatory mechanisms ranging from the cellular level to organ-system level employing chemical, mathematical, and physical principles. Topics of study will include physiological function, communication, integration, and homeostasis of the human body ranging from the cellular to organismal level. Laboratory activities focus on the knowledge of scientific methodologies necessary for the application, analysis, and evaluation of major physiological principles using standard measuring equipment, bioelectronics, computer analysis, simulations, and/or live organisms.
