Through didactic (lectures) and problem-solving (tutorial) sessions, students will gain a deeper understanding of the functions of various organ system physiologies. In addition, the integration of a number of organ system functions will also be discussed. Where appropriate, the physiology of disease processes will underscore the consequences of a malfunction of a physiological process. Organ systems covered include cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and gastrointestinal. A firm understanding of physiological principles is essential for any student contemplating a career in the health professions. DIRECTOR: Y.
