COM 535 - HF: Cell & Organ Syst Phys I

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Osteopathic Medicine

Description:

This course focuses on the physiological aspects of cellular function such as membrane transport, membrane receptors, signal transduction mechanisms, and second messenger systems. These basic principles are then applied to the study of excitable cells such as nerve cells and skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle. Physiological control systems, including the autonomic nervous systems, are considered next, and the study of specific organ systems beins at the end of this course with a segment on the cardiovascular system. Regular in-class problem-solving exercises, in which students examine problems or case histories related to Physiological principles, and online quizzes are an integral part of this course.
