Course Description:
This course introduces the fundamental principles of human physiology in health and disease, and provides insights into the cutting-edge and established therapies being developed and used to treat a range of disease processes. Designed for individuals who lack formal medical training, the course begins with an overview of the hierarchical organization of the body, from cells to coordinated organ systems, and continues with a discussion of the key integrative/homeostatic control mechanisms. With these topics as a foundation, the instructor progresses through the functions of major systems, including renal, cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular, digestive, endocrine and reproductive. This course benefits clinical research, biopharmaceutical, and engineering professionals who need a basic understanding of the physiological processes and therapeutic approaches that underlie the biomedical projects or clinical trials on which they work.
