BIOL 440L - Advanced Human Physiology

4 Credit(s)

Liberal Arts
Basic principles of general animal physiology emphasizing integration of organ system functions to maintain the individual under varying conditions. Control by the nervous and hormonal systems connect all topics which will emphasize human physiology. Topics with special emphasis will include: physiology of excitable cells, muscle physiology, circulation, respiration, fluid and ion balance, and nutrient processing. The laboratory will emphasize experimentation, data analysis, and professional writing. Students may take BIOL 201L and BIOL 202L or BIOL 340L and BIOL 440. Students who receive credit for BIOL 201L and/or BIOL 202L may not then take BIOL 340L and/or BIOL 440, and students who receive credit for BIOL 340L and/or BIOL 440 may not then take BIOL 201L and/or BIOL 202L. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Typically Every fall.
