Description

PHYSIOL 502 is an introductory graduate / advanced undergraduate course that covers the basic principles of cell physiology and the functions of the major organ systems. The course, which is 4 credit hours, is given in the fall term every year.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

  • To describe physiological functions in terms of physical and chemical laws.
  • To understand the functions of individual cells as the basis for understanding the functions of organs.
  • To demonstrate the coordination of physiological processes that underlies the maintenance of a stable internal environment (homeostasis).
  • To explain how different organ systems contribute to homeostasis.

Course Requirements:

There will be 4 midterm exams and a comprehensive final exam.

All exams will consist of multiple-choice questions. Students are responsible for all material covered in lecture, web notes and any reading specifically assigned by the lecturers. Exam scores will be posted on the course web site by student ID number as soon as possible after each exam.

Class Format:

Three 90 minute lectures per week, presented by various members of the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology.
