ANSC 5702 - Cell Physiology
Credits: 4.0 [max 4.0]
Course Equivalencies: AnSc 5702/Phsl 4702/Phsl 5702
Grading Basis: A-F only
Typically offered: Every Fall
Cell Physiology involves the study of control mechanisms involved in maintaining homeostasis with respect to a variety of parameters including regulation of pH, volume, nutrient content, intracellular electrolyte composition, membrane potential, receptor signaling and aspects of intercellular communication. The first half of this team-taught course is organized in a partially on-line format where students learn from on-line materials and then take an on-line quiz each week before meeting with the instructor to review key concepts in class. The second half of the course is presented in lecture format. Student evaluation is based on quiz scores, in-class exams and graded problem sets.
