This course provides an in-depth integrative understanding of human physiology. Beginning with cellular physiology and the regulation of the intercellular environment, the course takes a systemic approach to understanding control systems: the nervous and endocrine systems, systems of maintenance and defense: blood, lymphatic and cardiovascular; systems of metabolism, acid-base balance and elimination: respiratory, digestive and urinary systems and reproduction. Integration of all systems in the well-being of the organism is emphasized. Types of physiological measurements and their interpretation will also be discussed. This course will form the basis for the understanding of organ system pathophysiology. Prerequisites: BIOL 160/161; CHEM 160/161. 3 hrs. lect., 3 crs.
