| Description: In this class we will learn about the functions of human organ systems and their relationships with each other in health and disease, at both the cellular and tissue levels. We will study the mechanisms that regulate a variety of organ systems and learn how these mechanisms respond to the changing needs of the individual. Because a purely reductive approach often misses important determinants of body function, we will also consider how human health and disease unfold in a person's particular social and cultural context. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: If you are able to secure an older edition of the Silverthorn text, it will probably be just fine for this course. However, the pagination will be different from what is given in the syllabus and "translating" the page numbers for the reading assignments will be up to you. |
