HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY AND HEALTH

ANAT&PHY 235

Course Description

Learn basic physiological concepts, apply them to understand human health and disease, and link them to broader core concepts in biology. Complete a project that applies conceptual understanding of general biology and physiology to investigate and create informational materials for the public about a disease or health promotion strategy. The foundational knowledge covered serves those interested in health sciences majors, as well as non-science students interested in life-long health.

Individual work in the fields of anatomy and/or physiology will offer the opportunity to participate in more in-depth study (advanced level) under the direct guidance of anatomy and/or physiology faculty.

PRINCIPLES OF PHYSIOLOGY

BIOCORE 485

Study the physiology of and consider how plants and animals interact with their environments to survive, obtain nutrients, exchange gases, and reproduce, also how the complex systems of neural and endocrine regulation in animals and hormonal and environmental regulation in plants allow cells and organs to communicate.
