Courses

This course provides physics majors with the opportunity to integrate the physics knowledge acquired in earlier courses in a research environment under the supervision of an approved UAB faculty mentor.

Laboratory investigation of topics of modern physics. Permission of instructor.

The foundation of the biomedical sciences in physiology - the study of the function of the human body. This course will cover advanced concepts in body function from the molecular, cellular, and organ levels. In addition, there will be a weekly focus on current literature reports that coordinate with recent lecture topics.

This course explores advanced concepts involving integrated human physiological responses to exercise. Laboratory activities expand concepts discussed in lecture. Students in KIN 492 will receive one overall grade in the course that encompasses both the lecture and the laboratory components (i.e. separate grades will not be posted for the lecture and laboratory components of the course).

Physiological responses to exercise and control of metabolism, the cardiovascular system, and the respiratory system during acute exercise and training.

Temperature regulation and endocrine response to exercise; physiological responses and adaptations to aerobic training, strength training, and environmental extremes; limiting factors and fatigue in exercise.

Developmental, physiological, endocrinological, cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating reproduction, with emphasis on mammalian systems.

This course will provide an in-depth understanding of advanced physiology/pathophysiology associated with acute and chronic conditions to determine prevention strategies and treatment options across the life span.
