(3/3)

Prerequisites: Completion of BI 121 and BI 122 (with a minimum grade of C-) or BI 117(with special permission from the instructor) and one semester of CHM 100 or CHM 110 (with a minimum grade of C-) or high school chemistry (with a minimum grade of B-) or permission of instructor. This Pathophysiology course is designed to promote the understanding and application of fundamental concepts of disease processes. General concepts of disease (e.g., cell injury, inflammation, necrosis, wound healing, immune response, infectious disease, and neoplasia) are discussed. These concepts are then applied in a systems-oriented approach, including the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of the various disease processes.
