PE 674 - Advanced Physiology II3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The objective of this course is to continue the study of anatomy and physiology begun in PE-673. Topics include: nervous system, fluid compartments, fluid and electrolyte balance and regulation, plasma pH balance and regulation, blood components, lung function, renal function, liver function and endocrine systems. (prereq: PE-673)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Describe the components of the immune system and how they interact to functionally provide immune function. • Discuss the roles of the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system in homeostatic feedback loops. • Describe the body compartments, their relative sizes and how water moves between the compartments. • Describe the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system, including the regulation of GFR, functional aspects of the nephron and control of secretion and reabsorption that occurs along the nephron. • Discuss the mechanisms of acid/base balance and apply them to physiological situations. • Describe the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, including mechanisms for gas exchange and transport. • Describe the functions of the liver.
