BIOS 3430 - Principles of Physiology


Function of animal cells and organs, emphasizing the physical and chemical principles underlying physiological processes.

Requisites: (C- or better in CHEM 1520 and BIOS 1710) and (C- or better in PHYS 2002 or 2052 or concurrent)
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to compare and contrast different strategies for adapting to changes in physiological demands including size, sensory signals, neural integration, locomotion, temperature, water/solute balance, oxygen utilization, and CO2 exchange.
  • Students will be able to describe and define chemical processes underlying physiological processes, including cellular, organ, and organ system function and regulation.
  • Students will be able to describe basic physiological processes at the subcellular, cellular, and organ systems levels.
  • Students will be able to describe principles of energetics and energy metabolism, physiological scaling, coping with temperature variation or temperature extremes.
  • Students will be able to describe principles of processing of various environmental and internal stimuli, neural and motor function, respiration, and cardiovascular function.
  • Students will be able to interpret and classify information related to physiological function that spans levels of biological organization.
