BIO 317 - Advanced Physiology I

Institution:

Gwynedd Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

Advanced Physiology explores the regulatory mechanisms involved in maintaining and controlling a homeostatic environment at the subcellular, cellular, and organismal levels. The course begins with a survey of the principles of regulatory and cell physiology and continues with an investigation of electrophysiology and the physiology of the human nervous, muscular, and endocrine systems. This course emphasizes an understanding of how the body functions under normal conditions (in the absence of disease). Deviations from normality associated with pathological conditions will be discussed to help demonstrate important concepts in human physiology. 3 lecture hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO 107/108 or BIO 203/204.
