BIOL 312 - Physiology

FC NSMA QFR WADV

4 credits
How we and other organisms function forms physiology’s central question, approached in class first by studying how cells communicate and translate messages into action. Focus then shifts to more complex queries (e.g., how does the body respond when in love or under stress?), integrating cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and sexual physiology. Goals include strengthening reasoning and habits of mind that underlie deep understanding and lifelong learning.

Prerequisites: (CHEM 102 or CHEM 103) and one of the following: (BIOL 213 or BIOL 223/224) or NSCI 201.
