PHSIO
10 courses with the subject PHSIO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PHSIO 510Physiological Adaptations to Stress3
Students will learn how to address problems in physiological adaptations to stress through parallel molecular, cellular, and systemic approaches.
PHSIO 571Integrative and Cellular Mammalian Physiology I3
Mammalian cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal systems. This course in Cellular and Integrative Mammalian Physiology covers all major aspects of physiology. A special emphasis will be placed on how cellular aspects of physiology are integrated with organ and systems physiology. It is designed for students that either major in Physiology or are interested in integrating physiology concepts into their education. An in depth presentation of membrane biophysics, muscle dynamics, cardiovascular and circulatory regulation, respiratory and renal function, as well as acid base balance are addressed.
PHSIO 572Integrative and Cellular Mammalian Physiology II Endocrine Physiology3
The course in Cellular and Integrative Mammalian Physiology II covers all major aspects of endocrine physiology. A special emphasis will be placed on how cellular aspects of physiology are integrated with organ and systems physiology. This course is designed for graduate students in the Physiology or Animal Science graduate programs, or students who are interested in integrating physiology concepts into their work in another program. Although there are no prerequisites for the course, prior courses in physiology, endocrinology, and/or biochemistry are beneficial. The course will include the following topics: gastrointestinal physiology, pancreatic hormones and integrated metabolism, hypothalamic pituitary function, thyroid, parathyroid and bone, as well as physiology of growth and lactation. Additional topics will encompass adrenal function, sexual differentiation, male and female reproduction, embryo and adult derived stem cells, aging, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
