response, featuring the molecular and cellu-lar
interactions involved in both humoral
and cell-mediated immunity. Regulatory con-trols
and adverse clinical conditions involv-ing
immune functions are addressed. Experi-mental
basis of inquiry is emphasized.

blood elements; qualitative and quantitative
considerations of hemoglobin, coagulation,
and immunohematology.

respiratory, excretory, and digestive
systems. Concepts explaining normal func-tioning

of supporting scientific data. Integra-tion
of function of organ systems will be
illustrated through study of specific ex-amples,
such as exercise.
PHYAN 165. Endocrinology (3)
Prerequisite: BIOSC 140A-B. A systems ap-proach
to the study of hormone synthesis,
secretion, function as intercellular signals,
and their role in both controlling and inte-grating
normal physiological processes.

Prerequisite: PHYAN 65 or equivalent or
PHYAN 163. An application of anatomic
and physiologic principles in the study of
those disturbances that underlie the etiology
