HHP-411 Cardiopulmonary Physiology
This course emphasizes basic normal physiological
mechanisms during rest and with reference to
physical work and exercise. The focus of the
course is on the mechanisms that affect the
heart, systemic circulation, kidney, acid base,
thermoregulation, blood vessels, internal and
external respiration and the biochemistry of the
cardiopulmonary system. In addition, we will
discuss the mechanisms involved in physiological
adaptations during stress and exertion in
apparently healthy populations. Real life cases
will be used to provide plausible and reasonable
explanations and solutions.
Prerequisites: BIO-201 or BIO-210, BIO-202,
CHE-142, HHP-343, and MAT-111 or higher. MAT-125
or MAT-212 is preferred.
