| Course description: | A detailed clinical study of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and the pathological conditions associated with disease progression. Covers the fundamental understanding of the normal and pathological physiological functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The students will learn clinical techniques for measuring the ANS regulatory signals and hormonal regulation. Key information from anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine is integrated into the presentations and laboratory techniques. This is an upper division/graduate course requiring an advanced understanding of several areas of science such as neuroanatomy, chemistry, cell biology and physics. Prior knowledge of biochemistry would be useful. The prerequisites are necessary for the student to be properly prepared for this course. Prerequisites: BIOL 2210/L, 2225/L. Recommended: Concurrent enrollment in Neurobiology (BIOL 433). (Even S) |
