BIOS 5430 - Principles of Physiology I
Function of animal cells and organs emphasizing the physical and chemical principles underlying physiological processes. Focus on membrane properties of excitable and nonexcitable cells, chemical messengers and regulators, fluid balance, and nutrient balance.
Requisites:
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will apply knowledge of physiology to different strategies used to cope with changes in physiological demands including size, sensory signals, neural integration, locomotion, temperature, water/solute balance, oxygen utilization, CO2 exchange.
- Students will be able to describe and define chemical processes underlying physiological processes, including cellular, organ, and organ system function and regulation.
- Students will be able to describe basic physiological processes at the subcellular, cellular, and organ systems levels.
- Students will be able to describe principles of energetics and energy metabolism, physiological scaling, coping with temperature variation or temperature extremes.
- Students will be able to describe principles of processing of various environmental and internal stimuli, neural and motor function, respiration and cardiovascular function, and renal physiology.
- Students will be able to interpret and integrate information related to physiological function that spans levels of biological organization.
