PSIO603A

This course in human physiology contains an extended discussion of Cardiovascular, Renal, Respiratory, Endocrine and Gastrointestinal Physiology presented at the systems level but building on cell and molecular physiology and leading to an integrated view of the function of the human organism. The lectures are designed to introduce individual elements and concepts that constitute physiology, and to integrate these basic principles into a picture of the complete system. Occasional labs and weekly discussion sections complement the lecture series. The discussion sections focus on primary research articles and problem sets that augment lecture topics.
