BIOL 4604 - General Physiology

Credit Hours: 4
Contact Hours: 3 Lecture, 3 Lab
Offered: Irregular

Explores the homeostatic mechanisms in both animals and plants and seeks to answer how organisms adapt to environmental stresses in order to survive. Looks at commonalities of physiological regulation among all living organisms. Relationships of structure to function are explored. Readings include research literature as well as textbook materials. The laboratory focuses on experimental design, data collection, analysis, and drawing conclusions in physiology experiments.
