Design and function of cellular and organ physiology will be explored in both humans and other animals. The course will begin by using an organ system approach to introduce basic physiological principles and develop understanding of physiological processes which requires the integration of multiple organ systems functioning. The course is intended for biology majors and minors . Class activities will emphasize problem-solving and collaborative and independent learning. The laboratories will utilize computer simulations and animal/human experiments to examine principles of both physiology and scientific investigation. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 132  and BIO 240 /BIO 240L  (minimum grade of “C-” in both lab and lecture) or BIO 304 . One semester each of calculus and statistics is recommended.
