Professor: Jon K. Linderman, Ph.D., FACSM
Lecture: T/TH 1:30-2:45. Frericks 50
Prof. Linderman’s Office: 40J Frericks Center 299-4207 - jonlinderman@udayton.edu
Office Hours: TBA
Course Description: A survey of functions of body systems with respect to general cell physiology and specialization into tissues, structural contributions to tissue/organ physiology, pertinent concepts of biochemical physiology, tissue metabolism and energy/food requirements during stress and exercise, recent research into control and regulation of functions of major systems, physiologic limitations outside environmental ranges and selected pathophysiology.
Objectives: By attending and participating in the course the student will gain knowledge regarding the physiological processes to support life. Through a system by system approach, students will understand dynamic changes in physiological systems by processes such as disease and exercise.
Prerequisites: HSS 305, CHM 123 and 124. Students are EXPECTED to have satisfactorily completed the above courses or approved equivalents.
Evaluation: The final grade will be determined from the following:
Attendance *
Exams 80-85%
Quizzes 15-20%
Grading Scale: A; ≥ 93%, A-; 90-92%, B+; 87-89%, B; 83-86%, B-; 80-82%, C+; 79-77%, C; 76-73, C-; 72-70, D; 60-69%, F; <60%
Attendance: *Consistent with the policies published in the University of Dayton Bulletin and the HSS Student Handbook, attendance will be MANDATORY in this course. The determination of the consequences of a missed class is left to the discretion of the instructor and assessed on a case by case basis. In the event of an unforeseen emergency, students must contact the instructor prior to missing class. Students wishing to be eligible for an A in the course must not be absent more than 2 classes, for a B ≤ 4, for a C ≤ 6, for a D ≤ 8, and those missing more than 8 classes will not receive a passing grade. Further, attendance is defined as the student being present in the class prepared to contribute no later than 1:30.
Student Conduct: Instructor strictly adheres to University policies regarding student behavior and Academic Honesty as published in the Student Handbook and University of Dayton Bulletin.
Required Materials: Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach, by Dee Silverthorn. Benjamin Cummings Publishers, 3rd Ed.
Recommended Materials: ADAM Interactive Physiology Series
