The study of human temperature regulation in extreme environments. Physiological responses in hot and cold environments will be studied at molecular, cellular and whole body/systems physiology levels. The course focuses on the mechanisms of control of human temperature as well as unresolved topics in this area of physiology. Prerequisite: BPK 305 or BISC 305. Recommended: BPK 407. Students with credit for BPK 420, Physiological Basis of Temperature Regulation, may not take this course for further credit.
