MSBS 5030 - Medical Physiology II

3 credit hours

Physiology includes the study of the normal function of each of the organ systems in the human body. Medical Physiology II will continue building upon the basic concepts of physiology from Medical Physiology I. Medical Physiology II will expand on the physiological aspects of the Renal System and its association with Acid-Base balance. Physiological functioning of the Respiratory System, mechanics of breathing, regulation of pH, and gas transport will be detailed. Medical Physiology II will cover the Cardiovascular System. Electrical activity of the heart, the heart as a pump, cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms, the cardiac cycle, and neurohumoral regulation of the cardiovascular system will be emphasized. Students will gain an understanding of the integrated functions of the normal body. Lastly, students will develop “problem solving” and “critical thinking” skills through evaluating clinical situations and through presentations of case studies.
