  • BIO 504 - Advanced Pathophysiology

    This course integrates the science of pathology with anatomy and physiology for populations across the lifespan. We will be concerned with the alterations and mechanisms involved in disruption of normal physiology and how they manifest themselves as signs, symptoms, physical, and laboratory findings. Since pathophysiology provides the basic link between the sciences of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry and their application to clinical practice, the study of pathophysiology is essential to understanding the rationale for medical and surgical therapy.
