Students in this course will explore human anatomy and physiology through the lens of modern scientific literature. Cellular physiology and the structure and function of the nervous, endocrine, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and special sensory systems will be addressed. Emphasis will be placed on learning the normal functions of these by accurately assessing pathologies in real clinical case scenarios. Students will synthesize their understanding of the integration of these systems through a composition in the style of a modern scientific review with concomitant seminar. Concurrent enrollment is BIO 314 required. Prerequisites - BIO114/115 and CHM114/115 (*BIO231/232 or EXS245/246 should be completed prior to or concurrent enrollment with BIO313/314)
