Physiology

This course provides the core knowledge of physiology required by students to understand normal body function and the ability to analyze and interpret the immediate and long-term compensatory responses to common disease states of excitable cells (muscle and nervous tissue), the sensory system, and the endocrine and reproductive systems. Basic and applied terms are defined. Essential relationships between structure and function are defined and discussed.

This course provides core knowledge of physiology required by students of pharmacy in order to understand normal function and to acquire the ability to analyze and interpret the immediate and long-term compensatory responses to common disease states of the renal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. Basic and applied terms are defined. Essential relationships between structure and function are defined and discussed.

In all three courses basic physiological principles relevant to veterinary practice are surveyed. The first course introduces the vertebrate physiological principles and concepts common to animals. The course includes core principals relevant to the physiology of cells, cell signaling systems, and cardiovascular and respiratory mechanisms in health and disease. The second course continues with coverage of core concepts in renal, acid-base and endocrine physiology. The third course presents physiological processes and concepts relevant to reproductive and gastrointestinal function in healthy and diseased animals. It also discusses the role of the central nervous system in controlling movement, sensation, and perception.

This course presents homeostasis, biophysics, regulation of membrane transport, excitable cells, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. A discussion of circulatory fluid dynamics, peripheral vascular tone, blood pressure, and electrical and mechanical activity of the heart is included in the cardiovascular section of course. Small group case discussions, problem-based workshops, ultrasound workshops, and simulations facilitate development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills using basic physiologic concepts to understand the pathogenesis of signs and symptoms in specific case studies.

This is a sequel course to PHYSG 1521 that builds on physiologic foundations developed during the preceding quarter. Course covers the function, mechanism of action, regulation, and integration of renal and gastrointestinal, endocrine and reproductive systems that maintain body homeostasis. The renal section of the course presents the function and the regulation of the nephron and the entire kidney, including acid/base balance. The gastrointestinal section of the course presents the function and the regulation of motility, digestion, absorption and secretion within the various regions of the gastrointestinal tract. The endocrine and reproductive sections of the course present function, mechanism of action, and regulation of specific hormones. Small group discussions and problem-based workshops, ultrasound workshops and simulations will refine critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students identify physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the signs and symptoms described in pertinent clinical case studies.

Sequel to PHYSG 1523 and builds on physiologic foundations developed during the preceding semester. Course covers the function, mechanism of action, regulation, and integration of the renal and gastrointestinal systems that maintain body homeostasis through fluid, electrolyte and nutrient balance. The endocrine section of the course presents the function, mechanism of action, and regulation of specific hormones. Small group discussions and workshops will refine critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students identify physiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the signs and symptoms described in pertinent clinical case studies.

In this two-quarter series, students are introduced to the basic physiological principles that underlie normal function of various organs and organ systems. Emphasis is given to developing an understanding of health in physiological terms and appreciating the diverse regulatory processes that maintain the homeostasis of the human body. Topics presented include a general study of cell function; properties of excitable cells; and the function of the neuromuscular, cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
