Survey of Physiology

BIO 130

This course is a preliminary investigation into the study of human anatomy and physiology which requires an understanding of the levels of organization and systemic functionality of the human body. A foundation for the course would include the study of cells, tissue types, and an introduction to homeostatic mechanisms. Building on this foundation, the exploration of each organ system will include the structure and function of organs, the processes within the system, and homeostatic imbalances that may occur. These homeostatic imbalances are not designed to be an all-inclusive list, rather an example of topics that may be discussed. Treatment of homeostatic imbalance may also be addressed.
