This course will build on the fundamental concepts and principles of communication systems developed in Human Physiology I and examine more complex physiological phenomena such as the control of blood volume and blood pressure, which integrates tissue of the cardiovascular system, the heart, vasculature and kidney, and acid-based physiology, which integrates the respiratory system and the kidney. Finally, all systems will be integrated to determine how the body responds to challenges such as altitude, exercise and shock (blood loss).
