Day : W    Time : 1-2:50    Place : GEB A315
Credit: 10
The course is intended to aid the beginning graduate student to develop an understanding of 1) how each of the major organ systems functions and contributes to the body's ability to maintain its internal environment in the face of both internal and external disturbances, 2) how the body protects itself from invading pathogens, 3) how drugs affect various processes to produce alterations in cellular or organ system function, and 4) the basic causes of the major types of diseases.
IP 843 Cellular and Molecular Biology R.K. Rao
Starting date (MM/dd/yyyy) : 08/21/2007     Ending date (MM/dd/yyyy) : 02/22/2008
