The class has more than 60 contact hours, not including quizzes and exams. This evening, I will take students on a tour of physiology, sampling some of my favorite topics. Several basic mechanisms and themes will emerge and specific real-life examples will serve as aides for your understanding of physiology.
Audience participation is good.
By asking questions at any time, you will be able to steer the presentation toward your own interests. The format of this evening s presentation is informal so if you have a question, ask it. Themes and topics we may cover include feedback loops, homeostasis, kidney function, gastrointestinal physiology, heart attacks, drinking alcohol, dieting, and hypertension. Stephen A.
