KNPE 125 Introduction to Human Physiology Units: 3.00
This course provides an introduction to human physiology from the cellular to the systematic level with special emphasis on the systems that adapt to exercise stress. The following areas will be covered: the cell, nervous system, skeletal muscle system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, neuroendocrine system, and renal system.
Learning Hours: 108 (36 Lecture, 72 Private Study)
Requirements: Prerequisite Registration in a HLTH or KINE Plan.
Exclusion PHGY 215/3.0; PHGY 216/3.0.
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the basic structural and functional characteristics of types of cells (e.g. neural, muscle), organs (e.g. blood vessels, lungs) and organ systems relevant to human movement.
- Accurately recite the conceptual framework of flow (both the equation for flow and the flow model) which will be used in this course to understand the underlying causal chain of events that constitute physiological function.
- Apply the conceptual framework of flow to predict how physiological systems adapt in response to a disturbance in the system (i.e. human movement).
