Overview of class

Advanced Human Physiology is a fully online course that builds on the concepts covered in BIOL SCI 217 or an equivalent physiology course focusing on the body as an integrated set of systems. Our task will be to construct a global view of the body, its systems, and the many processes that keep the systems working. This course emphasizes an integrated approach to studying all major organ systems including neural, autonomic/somatic motor, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, and reproductive physiology. In addition to integration, we will focus on the clinical relevance of the organ system that will include abnormal function, disease states, and medications used to bring the system back to normal functioning.

This course is conducted completely online. A technology fee will be added to tuition.

This course was formerly BIOL SCI 335-B: Human Physiology II. Students who have taken BIOL SCI 335-B should not register for this course.

Registration Requirements

Prerequisite: BIOL SCI 217, 210-C, or 335-A, or an equivalent introduction to physiology course that provides an introduction to the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, neuronal and autonomic systems. This course cannot be taken unless the student has previously completed an introductory physiology course.
