BS 520 - Medical Physiology II: Mastering Metabolism, Nutrient Balance, and Essential Organ Functions

Credit(s): 5

Dive into the complexities of medical physiology in this engaging course, designed to lay
a foundational understanding of the human body. In this second course of a three-part
series, we will continue our exploration of the structure and function of several organ
systems: urinary, respiratory, immunologic, and gastrointestinal. Through interactive
sessions and case studies, learn how these organ systems sustain life and how they relate
to pathophysiology of disease states. The principles of metabolism will be explored with
an emphasis on the role of macronutrients and micronutirents and their role in
maintaining homeostasis.
