Catalog of Courses for Physiology

PHY 5050
Physiological Literature Offered Spring 2027

A journal club. Students present recent research papers in biophysics and/or report on progress of their own research projects. Students learn how to effectively read, critique, and present science research progress.

PHY 8011
Seminar in Physiology

Topics of current interest in physiology and related sciences are presented and discussed.

PHY 8040

The course will integrate background cellular and molecular knowledge into organ systems and whole animal, function. It is intended to provide the ability to integrate knowledge at the molecular level into function, the foundation of translational-based research. The physiology to be covered will include the nervous system, metabolism and endocrine systems.

PHY 8041

The course will integrate background cellular and molecular knowledge into organ systems and whole animal, function. It is intended to provide the ability to integrate knowledge at the molecular level into function the foundation of translational-based research. Specifically, the physiology to be covered will include the heart, vasculature, kidney, GI, and muscle. Requisites: PHY 8040 or permission of instructor

PHY 8052
Vascular Biology A Offered Spring 2027

The class covers the broad range of vascular biology from the basic science to clinical implications. The class integrates new methods in the field and relationships to heart function. Prerequisite: PHY 8040

PHY 8053
Vascular Biology B Offered Spring 2027

The class covers the broad range of vascular biology from the basic sciences to the clinical implications. In addition, the class integrates new methods in the field and relationships to heart function. Prerequisite: PHY 8040 and PHY 8052

PHY 8060
Cardiomyopathies

This course will cover the physiology of the heart, functional changes, and the signs of disease. Topics include ventricular functions, response to injury, remodeling, heart failure, types of heart disease, myocardium and circulation, and modeling.

Course was offered:  Fall 2026 · Fall 2025
PHY 8100
Extreme Physiology

The course focuses on aspects of human physiology observed during extreme environmental conditions. This includes: effects of gravity (e.g., space) on human physiology; effects of marathon running on human physiology, as well as high altitude and deep sea diving. These extremes will be discussed with an eye towards better understanding homeostatic and pathological human physiology.
