Course Description
The objective of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the normal function of the human body. At the end of this class, students should be able to recognize and explain the basic concepts that apply to each organ system as well as their integration to maintain daily physical activities and response to perturbations such as exercise, illness, and trauma. The organ systems covered include: cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, nervous and muscle. Application of newly mastered basic science principles to clinical scenarios is used to facilitate integration of the course content and to foster problem solving skills.
Course Director: Emma Jakoi, Ph. D. (emma.jakoi@dm.duke.edu)
Course Instructor: Emma Jakoi, Ph.D. Jennifer Carbrey, Ph.D. (jennifer.carbrey@dm.duke.edu)
Course Format
Learning objectives are listed at the beginning of the lecture power points (ppts) and the lecture notes. Lecture materials are available at the Duke Sakai course site. Students are responsible for the lecture ppts and lecture notes. Problem sets are provided to guide individual learning.
Recommended supplemental text: Vander's Human Physiology, the mechanisms of body function, by Widmaier, Raff, and Strang, McGraw-Hill, any edition.
Classes will be held either in the Duke Hospital South (DUHS) amphitheater or in Bryan 103. Please check the course calendar for specific daily location.
Exams & Grading
