PHGY 215 Principles of Mammalian Physiology l Units: 3.00
The focus of this course is on the central and peripheral nervous systems, muscle physiology, the heart, and the vascular system.
NOTE This course may be paired with PHGY 216/3.0 to achieve an introductory physiology full course (6.0 units).
NOTE Although it is recommended to take PHGY 215/3.0 first, this course can be taken before, after, or concurrently with PHGY 216/3.0.
NOTE Also offered online. Consult the Bachelor of Health Sciences program office. Learning Hours may vary.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Apply analytical skills to further your knowledge of physiological systems. (PLO8; Assessment 1,2)
- Define homeostasis and apply feedback loops to predict and understand the control of physiological systems in the face of a variable and changing environment. (PLO1; Assessments 1,3,4)
- Describe the physiology of the nervous system, muscles, and the cardiovascular system to identify and explain pathophysiological states. (PLO2; Assessments 1-4)
- Note: PLO refers to the program learning outcomes to which each course learning outcome matches to.
- Understand physiology at the molecular, cellular, and system levels in order to explain their combined role in integrative physiology. (PLO1,2; Assessments 1-4)
