Mammalian Physiology |
(3,0,0) 6 cr. |
| A comprehensive study of mammalian physiology with an emphasis on regulating mechanisms. The course includes the biophysical basis of excitable tissues, and the physiology of the central nervous system, blood and cardiovascular system, respiratory system, endocrine system, G.l. tract and renal physiology. It is assumed that students have a basic knowledge of chemistry, physics and biology. |
| The course is directed to students whose main field of interest is Biology of Biochemistry but does not preclude students from other disciplines in Science and in Engineering. Information: Department of Physiology, Roger Guindon Hall, 451 Smyth Road. |

Physiology and Mechanisms of Disease |
6 cr. |
| Lectures and discussions of selected topics in pathophysiology. Students will need to have acquired an understanding of normal physiology and the concepts involved therein. Attention will be paid to review of the principles involved in normal physiology. This course will then focus upon the etiology of the diseased state and underscore the causes and mechanisms of deranged physiology, preventative measures and corrective therapy. The topics covered will include the cardiovascular system, the gastro-intestinal tract, the respiratory and renal systems, neuromuscular and central nervous function, the endocrine and reproductive systems. |
