Course Overview
Utilize a systems approach to study the relationship between structure and function in the human body. Begin with a discussion of cells and tissues as basic structural/functional units followed by histology, integumentary, musculoskeletal, hematological, vascular and lymphatic systems. Applying homeostasis as a theme to regulation and integration of body systems with emphasis placed on the anatomy, physiology and systems relevant to Medical Laboratory Sciences. In the seminars, case studies and other active learning techniques are used to integrate knowledge across body systems and to develop critical thinking skills essential to clinical practice. Evaluation of learning is conducted through weekly seminar quizzes, exams, as well as in-class practice and participation.

- Relate structure to function in the human body
- Apply knowledge of anatomical and physiological principles to the process of diagnosing and treating selected pathological conditions
- Identify cellular and extracellular components and predict changes in physiology when that component becomes dysfunctional
- Develop skills in problem solving and critical thinking when approaching physiology case studies
