• BIOL 240: Human Physiology

  4.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  The study of the mechanisms, but with the human organism functions. Mechanisms covered range from the molecular/subcellular to the tissue, organ, and organism levels. Organ systems examined include the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, renal, digestive, and reproductive. Emphasizes three major themes: (1) that organ functions are dependent on the underlying molecular and cellular processes, (2) that all organ systems use biological control systems to maintain organ homeostasis, and (3) that each organ function is closely controlled and dependent on the interaction/integration with functions from other organ systems.Previously Offered As: (Offered as BIOL 151 before 2015-16.)
