HLSC 2462U – Altered Physiology: Mechanisms of Disease I

This course is an introduction to how normal physiology becomes altered through the course of human disease and focuses on the biological mechanisms that drive those changes. It initially concentrates on central concepts of human disease, such as abnormal states in cell and tissue biology, the principles behind genetic disorders, immunity, inflammation, hypersensitivities, stress and disease and cancer. These principles become essential to understanding the pathogenesis of common diseases affecting the neurological, endocrine and reproductive systems.
