An introductory course outlining the principles of human/mammalian physiology along with a general survey of various physiological systems (e.g., cardiovascular, renal, neural, motor, gastrointestinal, endocrine, respiratory, etc.).
Physiology 1021 is designed to help you learn the basic facts, concepts, and principles that are essential to your understanding of the function of the human body, so that you will be able to use that knowledge to solve physiological problems. Because many of you who are enrolled in this course intend to pursue careers related to health, the course will place some emphasis on clinical scenarios and disease (pathophysiology).

💬 Draw out a diagram for each body system you learn! It’s important to understand the big picture. Make sure to understand rather than memorize, it’ll help you in future Phys courses
💬 TAs are super nice and a great go-to source for help
💬 Write down nitty gritty details (drug names) on your crib sheet!
