This course is an introduction to the abnormal functioning of the human body in relation to disease and the aging process. The course is intended to help the student understand the underlying scientific basis for why certain conditions appear when systems of the human body are affected by disease or aging. The course will build on the foundational concepts of normal body function from anatomy and physiology. Offered every fall. (Prerequisite: BIO 114 with a minimum grade of C or higher.)
