M 236A Human Physiology (3 credit hours)

This course of Human Physiology is designed to provide allied

health and medical technology students with the basic knowledge in

cellular and systemic physiology and presents an introduction to

fundamentals of physiological principles required for their further

education.The functions of the nervous, endocrine,

digestive,muscle, circulatory respiratory and urinary system are

discussed.

M 236B Human Physiology Laboratory (1 credit hour, 3 hours lab).

The students are introduced to basic experiments in physiology

including CBC, measurements of blood pressure and blood flow,

Ecocardiography, ECG, EEG, EMG and nerve conduction velocity

spirometry and human reflexes.
