MIND & MOTION

MEDSC-M 772

Organized around biomedical themes including nutrients, the digestive system, the biochemistry and endocrine control of metabolism, exercise and fitness and the removal of waste products and toxins to present an integrated picture of how these systems function together to maintain homeostasis. Integrates developmental content from competency domains, or "longitudinal threads", including communication, patient care, ethics, health information technology, public health, professionalism, quality improvement, patient safety, and scientific inquiry.

MEDSC-M 771

Organized around physiological themes, the course includes material related to the cardiovascular system, hematology, nephrology, and pulmonology to present an integrated picture of how these systems function together to maintain homeostasis. In addition, there is significant content from other competency domains such as public health, ethics, evidence-based medicine, patient care/communication and clinical skills.

KINES 200

Entry-level course provides a systematic introduction to the mammalian nervous system, with emphasis on the structure and function of the human brain. Topics include the function of nerve cells, sensory systems, control of movement, learning and memory, and diseases of the nervous system. The foundational knowledge covered in this course serves students interested in health sciences majors, as well as non-science students interested in neuroscience and its relation to human health, wellness, and disease.

PHYTHER 628

Addresses the mechanics and control of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems as they relate to human movement. Neural control of movement is discussed in detail with specific emphasis on theories underlying recruitment of muscle in health and disease.

KINES 570

Structure, regions and function of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems are presented with the purpose of providing insight into the anatomical foundations of common injuries and conditions.
