Full Description
The idea behind Integrated Physiology came from a course offered at Montana State University by the same name. This introductory course was designed for freshmen students interested in pursuing a medical degree, to provide a flavor to the functionality of the human body and a strong foundation for their future course of study. Integrated Physiology provides a solid basis for the understanding of how the human body works. It is designed for students planning to be health professionals but will be a good supporting text for students that need a little refresher in the concepts of systems physiology.Basic topics include cellular mechanisms, physiological control systems, and cellular communications.
Major topics include muscle, nerve, respiratory, renal and cardiovascular systems, with survey topics on digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
After experiencing and reading Integrated Physiology, students will be able to:
• Relate anatomy and physiology in the context of the levels of biological organization.
• Analyze and apply common functions of homeostatic mechanisms.
• Apply knowledge of chemical concepts, cell biology, and histology to physiology
• Analyze and interpret physiological and anatomical concepts related to the systems covered
• Be able to apply concepts of prevalent human disorders that affect the systems covered.
With each purchase of Integrated Physiology, students will be given access to the associated lab manual.
