Physiology I is the first of two physiology courses designed to introduce systems and processes of the body including: digestive, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine. This course will also develop an appreciation for the adaptive and homeostatic mechanisms of the body as well as the dynamic interrelations between the systems. The course will enhance the student's capacity for critical thinking related to both theoretical and applied aspects of physiology.
