UUsing a systems approach, this course emphasizes the integration of histology, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology as these disciplines apply to the human body across the life span. The relationship between structure and function of healthy body systems is investigated. The impact of common pathologies, and the pharmacological interventions used to treat those pathologies, on physical therapy practice are subsequently analyzed. Units of study include normal and abnormal structure and function of cells and tissue types, neural, endocrine, immune, muscle, circulatory, lymphatic and respiratory systems.
