PHS 4100 Human Physiology and Mechanism of Disease (6 units)

Lectures and discussions of selected topics in pathophysiology. Students will need to have acquired an understanding of normal physiology and the concepts involved therein. Attention will be paid to review of the principles involved in normal physiology. This course will then focus upon the etiology of the diseased state and underscore the causes and mechanisms of deranged physiology, preventative measures and corrective therapy. The topics covered will include the cardiovascular system, the gastro-intestinal tract, the respiratory and renal systems, neuromuscular and central nervous function, the endocrine and reproductive systems.
