PHY 503General Physiology I ()3
Physiology is the study of the how living systems function from the molecular to organismal level. As such, this course will build on your knowledge of anatomy, biochemistry, and cell biology and also presumes a working knowledge of the basics of college level physics and chemistry. Students will learn the fundamental mechanisms underlying normal function of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the human body and be able to integrate knowledge and concepts from various organ systems to explain function in the human body. In this course, we will address cellular, neural, muscular, and gastrointestinal physiology in humans. P: BCH451 and BCH553 (or equivalents) and one year each of college- level physics and chemistry Typically offered in Fall only

Pathophysiology is one of the bridge courses between basic medical science and clinical medicine: it plays an important role in basic medical courses, concerning the etiology and pathogenesis of disease as well as the mechanisms of functional and metabolic alterations in disease. Different from pathology, which emphasizes the morphological changes, pathophysiology focuses on the functional and metabolic alterations and mechanisms underlying the development of diseases. This discussion- and presentation-based course will focus on developing written and oral communication skills through the use of case studies. R: Physiology Program Students Only Typically offered in Spring only PHY 524/PO 524 Comparative Endocrinology (3 credit hours) Basic concepts of endocrinology, including functions of major endocrine glands involved in processes of growth, metabolism and reproduction. Typically offered in Spring only
PHY 574Musculoskeletal Physiology, Palpatory Anatomy and
Dynamic Kinesiology (3 credit hours) This is a hybrid, interdisciplinary course designed for graduate students preparing for a career within the health professions. This course focuses on the concepts and principles of palpatory anatomy and kinesiology of the musculoskeletal system and associated structures through the development of skilled palpation as a fundamental component of effective manual therapy techniques with an emphasis on how muscles and joints interact based upon their structure and function. By definition, palpation requires physical contact (touching) in order to locate anatomical structures for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, due to the nature of the activities in this class, it is necessary to have some amount of physical contact occur between yourself, class participants, and instructor(s). Students should come to this class with an understanding of the close relationship between structure, function, and movement in the human body and with an appreciation for, and comfort level associated with, palpatory diagnostic techniques. Restriction: Graduate Standing in Physiology Typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer
This course will cover basic principles of human anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics and their relationship to exercise, sport science, health professions and athletic coaching. Typically offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer
Teaching experience under the mentorship of faculty who assist the student in planning for the teaching assignment, observe and provide feedback to the student during the teaching assignment, and evaluate the student upon completion of the assignment. Typically offered in Fall and Summer
For students in non thesis master's programs who have completed all other requirements of the degree except preparing for and taking the final master's exam. Typically offered in Summer only
For graduate students whose programs of work specify no formal course work during a summer session and who will be devoting full time to thesis research. Typically offered in Summer only
