First Year Courses
Cell and Organ Physiology
Cell and Organ Physiology goals are: to provide a general introduction to membrane physiology of mammalian cells as a basis for the understanding of cellular function and its regulation in normal and abnormal tissues and organs and to teach the normal physiology of the human cardiovascular and respiratory systems at the cellular, tissue, organ, and organ systems levels. The primary emphasis on normal function is supplemented by selected didactic examples of how normal function may be changed by disease.
The course meets five times each week for 50-minute sessions. Additionally, students participate in one laboratory exercise per module, and the course assess progress primarily through multiple choice exams.
