Physiology (PHSL)

PHSL 506. Advanced Physiology and Pathophysiology for Nurse Anesthetist I. 5 Units.

Overview of physiology and pathophysiology (cell, neuro, cardiovascular, pulmonary, GI, renal, endocrine, and reproductive systems).

PHSL 507. Advanced Physiology and Pathophysiology for Nurse Anesthetist II. 4 Units.

Part II of physiology and pathophysiology (cell, neuro, cardiovascular, pulmonary, GI, renal, endocrine, and reproductive systems). Prerequisites: PHSL 506.

PHSL 519. Medical Physiology. 7.5 Units.

Physiological basis of normal and selected pathological conditions, modern concepts of homeostasis, and negative feedback control systems.

PHSL 526. Medical Physiology. 7.5 Units.

Examines the physiological function and regulation of major organ systems, and the integration and interaction of these systems with one another. Includes cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, reproductive systems, and exercise physiology. Presents essential levels of organization from cellular and molecular to tissue and organ systems. Emphasizes mechanistic and integrative functions that enable adaption and survival in the face of changing needs and resources.

PHSL 537. Neuroscience. 4 Units.

Integrated approach to the fundamentals of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, with applications to clinical neurology.
