About This Course
This course presents the biochemical and biophysical principles underlying the physiological processes of the human body. Lectures cover cell structure, molecular movement and control mechanisms, energy and metabolism, neural control and sensory systems, enzyme function, endocrinology, muscle physiology, control of body movement, circulation, respiration, immunity, kidney function, digestion and metabolic regulation. Topics and examples emphasize practical application of theory reviewed in lectures. Special emphasis is placed on pathological conditions and their treatments.
Prerequisites
Basic college-level chemistry, biology and human anatomy are strongly recommended.
