Course Listing for PHYSIOLOGY


110. Integrative & Nutritive Systems. (6 units) § Sp. Prerequisites: College-level biology, physics, and chemistry, or consent of instructor. Lecture 4 hours. Laboratory 1 hours. Conference 1 hours.
A. Miller
To provide understanding of the mechanisms and processes in various organ systems. Provide necessary background for learning about human disease and its treatment. Enhance understanding of the function of organs and cells. Provide knowledge for realization that oral functions and disease involve exactly the same processes as other human functions and disease. Help prepare skills necessary to understand and evaluate clinical literature.

121. Mammalian Physiology I. (5 units) Fa. Prerequisites: Undergraduate course in physiology. Lecture 4 hours. Laboratory or confernce 1-2 hours.
I. Mitrovic
Physiology 121 is part I of a two-part course in mammalian physiology. It will cover anatomy and function of the nervous system, the endocrine glands and their secretions, bone and muscle physiology and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

121.01. Mammalian Physiology I. (5 units) Fa. Prerequisites: Undergraduate course in physiology. Lecture 4 hours. Laboratory or conference 1-2 hours.
I. Mitrovic
Physiology 121.01 is part 1 of a two-part course in mammalian physiology. It will cover anatomy and function of the nervous system; the endocrine glands and their secretions; bone and muscle physiology; the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Intended for students in the Graduate Program in Physical Therapy.

122. Mammalian Physiology II. (3 units) Wi. Prerequisites: Physiology 121 or consent of instructor. Lecture 3 hours.
I. Mitrovic
Physiology 122 is a continuation of a two-part course in mammmalian physiology designed primarily for pharmacy and physical therapy students. It covers renal physiology, gastrointestinal physiology and functions of the nervous system including aspects of neurotransmitters, sensory and motor systems.

122.01. Mammalian Physiology II. (3 units) § Wi. Prerequisites: Physiology 121.01. Restrictions: None. Lecture 3 hours.
I. Mitrovic
Continuation of a two part course in mammalian physiology designed primarily for pharmacy and physical therapy students. It will cover renal physiology, functions of the nervous system, including aspects of neurotransmitters, sensory and motor systems and gastrointestinal physiology.

170.01. Medical Scholars Program Workshops. (1 units) Fa, Wi. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor (this course is offered as part of the UCSF Medical Scholars Program, which endeavors to encourage students to pursue careers in academic medicine). Laboratory 1 hours. Seminar 1 hours.
D. Rohde
Workshops in organ system physiology, offered concurrently to the first-year course, which will present challenging material in the form of problem sets which students will solve in groups. Material geared toward high-achieving students will augment basic coursework with clinical and basic science information.

181. Demystifying Medicine. (2 units) § Fa, Wi, Sp. Prerequisites: None. Restrictions: This course is intended for medical students, graduate students & all others interested in understanding how basic science contributes to our understanding of human disease. Lecture 15 hours.
L. Reichardt, R. Nussbaum
This course will consist of a weekly set of presentations (90 minutes each) in which a basic scientist and a clinical scientist present an important disease and discuss the major issues that are needed to be addressed by research to advance diagnosis, molecular understanding, and therapy. Students will be expected to complete appropriate background reading and participate in discussion.

198. Supervised Study. (1-5 units) § Su, Fa, Wi, Sp, SS1, SS2, SS3. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. Library 3-15 hours.
