Catalog Description:
Untitled document
Processes and mechanisms underlying the normal functioning systems such as neuromuscular, cardiovascular, digestive, renal, respiratory and reproductive. Selected examples of disturbances to the normal functioning of these systems will be considered and related to homeostatic mechanisms. Laboratory projects are conducted and designed to illustrate major principles of the aforementioned systems.
Prerequisites/Corequisites:
Chemistry 60, Biology 10 or equivalent with grade of "C" or better.
Recommended Preparation:
English 100B or 104, and Math 150B with a grade of "C" or better or their equivalents in college or high school.
