BIOL 3420 - Advanced Human Physiology

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Biology

Description:

Advanced detail-oriented course that examines how mechanistically the body functions. It begins with cell transport, communication and how the body achieves homeostasis and commences with body systems and how they function. Successful completers of this intensive course will have a sufficient familiarity with the details of biologic functions to enable them to understand disease processes, treatment procedures, and research pursuits of various aspects of physiology. ** COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs). At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate the proper vocabulary and use of the terminology used in physiology. 2. Describe cell transport systems, communication, function and how the body systems interact to achieve homeostasis. 3. Summarize in detail the overall processes of major body systems: nervous, special senses, endocrine, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, blood, immune, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and reproductive. 4. Apply and integrate knowledge gained in the course to biomedical and clinical cases. Prerequisites: BIOL 1620 (Grade C or higher). SP
