BIOL 634 - Advanced Human Cardio Physiology

Units: 3

In-depth analysis of human cardiovascular physiology. Strong focus on human physiology, supported by comparative animal models. Taught through combination of lectures and case studies, providing overview of cardiovascular biology, and links between environment, disease and cardiovascular physiology. Specific topics include embryonic cardiovascular development, blood flow, blood pressure, cardiovascular neural regulation, cardiac morphology, hemodynamics, and cardiac disease. Students will be required to read peer-reviewed literature and write an expanded academic paper on a heart physiology topic. BIOL 634 is dual-listed with BIOL 434 . Students may not receive credit for both. Enrollment Restrictions: Enrollment restricted to students in the Biological Sciences graduate program.
