Core Principles of Physiology

3 Credits

Focuses on the “Core Principles of Physiology” and their application in forming and addressing research questions. The core principles include homeostasis, structure/function relationships, communication, causal mechanisms, levels of organization, and matter/energy transfer. Students will engage these principles in four key areas of research: 1) Gene Mutation Disorders, 2) Homeostasis and Circadian Rhythms, 3) Renal and Respiratory Regulation, and 4) Cell and Systemic Aging.
