PHSL 5444

Dr. David Thomas (BMBB), course director


3 credits
Tuesday and Thursday 4:00 - 5:15 pm
An introduction to the physiology, biochemistry, biophysics,
and pathobiology of muscle.
Lectures and reading assignments will be designed to provide the
student with an understanding of current knowledge and models of
muscle structure and function.
Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary research that has
contributed to our understanding of muscle function and
malfunction at the molecular level.
Typical classes include students from Biochemistry, Physiology,
Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Kinesiology, Pharmacology,
Chemistry, and Biophysical Sciences, as well as extension students
from local biomedical companies.

PHSL 5525

Dr. Mark Cook & Dr. Stephen Katz, course


directors
This is a 3-day short course taught January 15-17,
2014
There are 1 and 2 credit options
The course focuses on the anatomy and physiology of
the pelvis, perineum, and urinary system.
The course has a strong anatomical bias towards the
pelvis and perineum, but will delve more deeply into
the physiology of the urinary system.
Some time will be spent considering common pelvic
dysfunction (including incontinence, prolapsed and
erectile dysfunction) and urological pathophysiology.
