    Description
    Students will explore the different body systems (e.g. nervous, endocrine, muscular, urinary, respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive) along with cellular physiology and metabolism. Students will learn to apply physiology in the context of disease, including learning to answer questions like: If you pull someone's heart out of their chest, why does the heart keep beating? Why is 0.9% NaCl often the IV of choice in hospitals? Why is it dangerous to drink too much water too fast? Why do you feel dizzy when you stand up? This course is designed for college degrees in nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and certain science and preprofessional majors.
