Human Physiology

Physiology is the study of the processes of the body. This course is about the unconscious mechanics of living; the student will look at each organ system in detail and then discuss the ways in which the systems interact in order to maintain the body at an optimal state. Metabolism and homeostasis—or the maintenance of the body at a set, optimal level—will be the primary themes. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Biology 304)
