Title
Physiology for Engineers
Course Description
This course will provide students with the fundamental knowledge of human physiology based on an understanding of how cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems function together in the human body. The physiology of human organ systems will be covered, with emphasis on the critical concept of homeostasis, cellular physiology, nervous systems, cardiovascular systems, renal physiology, and muscle system. Clinical scenarios will be incorporated throughout the course so that students can think critically about how disrupting the normal structure and function of the human body leads to disease processes. Open to graduate students only; students who have taken BME 244L are not eligible to take this course.
