Catalog Description:
Untitled document
Cellular mechanisms underlying normal functions of body systems including neuromuscular, endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive, renal, respiratory, immune and reproductive. Selected examples of disturbances to normal functioning of these systems will be related to homeostatic mechanisms. Laboratory experiments are conducted to illustrate major principles associated with these systems. (Intended for physical therapy, nursing, and dental hygiene students)

COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Describe the characteristics of the scientific method and how it forms
the basis of all modern scientific research.
2. Define homeostasis and explain how feedback mechanisms function to
maintain homeostasis.
3. Explain relationships between structure and function at the molecular,
cellular, and systems level of biological organization.
4. Explain how the structures of proteins and cells support the function
of organ systems.
5. Compare and contrast the basic mechanisms by which cells, organs, and systems of the body carry their specific physiological functions and maintain homeostasis.
6. Describe and evaluate the body's response to some major physiological
stressors such as exercise, fasting, severe temperature extremes,
injury, hemorrhage, infection, and diarrhea.
7. Apply knowledge about the function of the body to understanding the
physiological basis for some of the major diseases and disorders of
the human body.
8. Conduct physiological experiments that elucidate the functions of the
body's organ systems.
