Human Physiology II – Integrated Systems Physiology (HK*3810)

Code and section: HK*3810*01

Term: Fall

Instructor: Dr. Coral Murrant

Details

Physiology has a foundation of concepts and ideas that are used repeatedly to explain a variety of observations.  Lectures will build on the fundamental concepts and principles of communication developed in Human Physiology I and continue to build the body by putting together systems to regulate more complex physiological phenomena such as the control blood volume and blood pressure (integrating tissues of the cardiovascular system, the heart, vasculature and kidney) and acid-base physiology (integrating the respiratory system and the kidney).  Finally, all of the systems will be integrated to determine how the body would respond to challenges such as altitude, exercise and shock (blood loss).  The course presents the factual material and theories used to explain the function of the organs or systems so that you are able to utilize this information in explaining life situations.  The majority of the material is presented in the context of feedback control systems with emphasis placed on the function of the normative cell, tissue and body.
