Human physiology is the study of how the body functions. This course takes a mechanistic view of physiology. This view holds that all phenomena associated with human physiology are ultimately describable in terms of physical and chemical laws. From this point of view we will examine all of the major organ systems. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of these systems into the whole.

General Information:

This is a hybrid course that combines both internet study and face-to-face teaching. The lecture component of the course is to be completed online, however you must attend lab once a week on campus.

To enroll in this course you must have internet access and an email account. I suggest you use your own computer at home, however SBCC students are allowed to use campus computers with internet access.

Proctored examinations are given on campus.

This course is transferable to CSU and UC. This course also satisfies the physiology prerequisite of most allied health programs (nursing, physical therapy, chiropractic, etc.)

For further information you can email the instructor, Jim Doohan. doohan@sbcc.edu
