BIO 3310 - HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY

credits: 3.0
Will correlate knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, presenting the material in a systematics sequence; nervous system, musculoskeletal, integumentary, digestive, circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, endocrine, excretory, and immune systems. Normal body functioning will be related to the physiologic changes that occur as a result of illness. The body’s ability to compensate for illness related changes and it responses to medications will be considered.
