This class uses a journal club format to examine stress
physiology. There will be a focus on stress-induced pathology with
attention to cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroendocrine disorders
including:
Role and Foundations of Stress in Physiology History and Current
Views of Stress Physiology Development of Stress and Related
Disease. Classical and New Mediators of Stress.

} Dr. Alessandro Bartolomucci, Course Director } Thursdays 2:30
-3:20pm. } Grade is based on participation
during weekly meetings and paper presentation.
-
} 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.

} 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.
