Basic principles of plant physiology; the physiological processes of green plants and the effect of the environment on these processes. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours per week.

This course will focus on experimentation in neurophysiology. The generation of receptor potentials in sensory neurons will be measured in addition to action potentials in axons. Pharmacological experimentation of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors subtypes and second messengers signaling will be conducted. The key role of ion channels and transporters in regulation of the membrane potential will be examined.

This survey course examines the population dynamics and equlibria of genes in nuclei, chloroplasts and mitochondria. Emphasis will be on biological relevance (in plants, animals, and micro-organisms), but some theoretical derivations will also be introduced.

A survey of theories and mechanisms of immunity including: nature of antigens and antibodies, antigen-antibody reactions, immunocompetent cells, immunogenetics, allergic reactions, tumor immunology and transplantation immunology.

PGY/BIO-502 is a team-taught, lecture-based course that provides an integrated in-depth understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the human cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, neural, renal and respiratory organ systems. Lectures are supplemented with assigned readings, hands-on demonstrations, and problem-oriented study sessions.
