BIOM*2000 Concepts of Physiology F,W (3-0) [0.50]
|
| An introductory course covering the fundamental integrative aspects of human physiology. The basic physiology of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, nervous, endocrine, renal and reproductive systems will be discussed. (Also offered in Distant Education Format.) |
| Restriction(s): |
ANSC*3080, BIOM*3100, HK*3940, ZOO*3200, ZOO*3210. Not available to B.Sc. Students in biological science specializations. |
|
BIOM*3000 Mammalian Neuroanatomy W (3-2) [0.50]
|
| The basic organization of the mammalian nervous system. Includes 3 dimensional examination and dissection of the spinal cord, brain stem, cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres and study of serial sections. Emphasis is on the morphological basis of function. (Offered in even-numbered years.) |
| Prerequisite(s): |
1 of BIOL*1040, PSYC*2410, equivalent |
|
BIOM*3030 Biomedical Histology F (3-3) [0.75]
|
| This histology course is designed for students with interests in Bio-Medical Sciences and Toxicology. Basic tissue types and major organ systems, will be examined focusing on structural/functional relationships. Human and common experimental mammals will be emphasized. |
| Prerequisite(s): |
BIOL*2210, CHEM*2580
|

|
BIOM*3040 Medical Embryology W (2-3) [0.50]
|
| The patterns and principles of fertilization and normal embryonic and fetal development of mammalian organ systems are covered with a focus on the medical implications. The teratology of structural and functional prenatal anomalies in development is mentioned. Designed for students pursuing Biomedical Sciences, Medical Toxicology and students interested in Human or Veterinary Medicine. |
| Prerequisite(s): |
BIOL*1040 (an anatomy course is recommended) |
|
BIOM*3100 Mammalian Physiology I F (3-0) [0.50]
|
| The first part of a two-semester sequence. A series of lectures concerning the normal functioning of the body treating in a detailed manner the physiology of the nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems. |
| Prerequisite(s): |
CHEM*2580
|
|
BIOM*4030 Endocrine Physiology W (3-0) [0.50]
|
| The endocrine integration of physiological and biochemical processes in mammalian organs and body systems. The emphasis will be on the biochemical function of hormones and physiological events occurring in response to homeostatic demands such as starvation, stress, thirst, temperature fluctuation, and mineral imbalance. |
| Prerequisite(s): |
CHEM*2580, (1 of BIOM*3110, HK*3940) |
|
BIOM*4050 Physiology of Aging F (3-0) [0.50]
|
| Aging is accompanied by alterations in the physiological and biochemical functioning of body organ systems. The relationship between aging and the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestion/nutrition and reproductive systems will be discussed as will homeostatic functions associated with bone metabolism and fluid balance. |
| Prerequisite(s): |
1 of BIOM*2000, BIOM*3110, HK*3940, permission of instructor |
|
