BME/PHYSIOLOGY 419/519
QUANTITATIVE PHYSIOLOGY
Fall Semester, 2013
Course Description:
Quantitative Physiology provides learning opportunities for advanced undergraduate
and graduate students to understand and develop competencies in a quantitative,
research oriented, systems approach to physiology. Systems examined include
cellular, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic and reproductive.
Mathematical models and engineering analyses are used to describe system
performance where applicable. Lectures and problem sessions are used for instruction,
and performance is based on homework problem sets and examinations.
