Session Offered:

Prerequisites:

BIOL 11000 or 12100 or 13100 or 23000 and CHM 11200 or 11600 or beginning spring 2012 CHM 10901

Description:

BIOL 30100/30200 is a two-semester study of human structure and function that emphasizes physiology of body tissues and systems and includes relevant aspects of anatomy and histology.  Examples from pathophysiology encourage application of knowledge to predict symptoms of disease and rationale for treatment.  Topics covered in BIOL 30200 include:  composition of the blood and hemostasis, cardiovascular system, respiration (ventilation, gas exchange, gas transport in the blood, regulation of breathing), homeostasis of body fluids and renal function, acid-base balance, digestion and absorption of food, energy balance and nutrition, metabolism and thermoregulation, exercise physiology, and reproduction.

Note:  All lectures are available as podcast files at Boiler cast, and the lecture audio files are also available on the course web site.   A help session is held every Thursday night at 6.30pm.
