1 Introduction to Human Physiology (4)Transfer: UC,CSU Prerequisite: Anatomy 1 and Biology 3, with grades of "C" or better.
This course presents the biochemical and biophysical principles underlying the physiological processes of the human being. Lecture topics include the neural and hormonal regulation of bodily processes, and the integration of the organ systems to maintain a constant fluid environment within the body. Special emphasis will be placed on the evaluation of body temperature, blood pressure, breathing, and urine output, as well as the interpretation of clinical laboratory tests. Laboratory exercises will introduce the student to the spectrophotometer, EKG machine, blood pressure cuff, and urinalysis tests. This course is intended to meet the requirements of students majoring in Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Physical Education, and Life Sciences, or for those who wish to extend their knowledge of the human body beyond the scope of introductory biology.
