Course Description: This course outlines the physiology of several major organ systems of the human body. Topics include the central nervous system, sensory physiology, endocrine regulatory mechanisms, renal function, digestion, the endocrine control of metabolism and growth, and reproduction. The combination of BIOL 273 and BIOL 373 covers all the major physiological systems. Assumed Background: The course is designed for students with a basic understanding of the structures of the biologically relevant macromolecules and cell biology (as provided by the BIOL 130 prerequisite). This material will not be reviewed in class. Fundamental concepts of cell-cell communication and homeostasis from BIOL 273 will also be assumed, and will be reviewed only briefly. Communication / Office Hours: After lectures is ideal most days. If you are dropping by at other times it is best to give me a heads-up to make sure I can be there. Preferred method of communication is email.
