ANP 241 - Human Pathophysiology

Offered FL
Lecture- 3
3 credit hrs/3 contact hrs
Prerequisite: ANP 230 - Anatomy and Physiology I and ANP 231 - Anatomy and Physiology II with “C” or better (2.0 out of a 4.0 scale)
Course provides students with a basic understanding of human pathophysiology based on the adaptive responses of the body to stress. The interrelationships of function and dysfunction at the cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels will be studied and applied to the entire human body.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Apply principles and theories of biology in the understanding of disease processes. Describe the epidemiology, etiology, symptomatology, and pathophysiology of specific disease processes; relate these to the diagnostic tests and the clinical manifestations of that disease. Apply diagnostic reasoning to accessing and evaluating case situations. Describe adaptive and maladaptive responses to selected stressors.
