PHSC 1123 - Physiological Basis of Therapeutics II (3)

The second of a two-course sequence designed to emphasize integrated concepts of structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on cellular, homeostatic and control mechanisms that regulate the physiologic response of target tissues. Laboratory exercises for this course will be incorporated into the Integrated Biomedical Sciences Laboratory Course and will consist of directed use of anatomical models of various structures, systems and physiology simulations in a modified gross anatomy and physiology laboratory. Methods of instruction include lectures, group discussions, and independent study.
