EBME 202. Physiology - Biophysics II
Special EBME202 Summer 2008 Course Annuncement
This will be a 6 week class, from  6/16/2008 - 7/30/2008 in Wickenden Building.
Time is to be arranged.
Please contact Dr. Cechner who will be making arrangements.
Description
Integrated biological control systems: Cardiovascular,
Renal, Respiratory, Hepatic, and Immune systems.
Course Goals
The expectation is that students will develop an understanding
of the anatomy and physiology of selected human systems
and the general strategies for building representative
models. Students are expected to synthesize transfer-function
based models from facts and methods presented in class
or gleaned from the text, handouts, and other resources
(the WWW).
Emphasis is placed on the cardio-respiratory and renal
systems with their associated neural and humoral feedback
control systems. Normal function sets the background
for investigating pathological conditions (abnormal
physiology). In this way a model serves to answer real
world questions which are of interest to the student.
