Physiology is the study of how the body works. Advances in knowledge usually come incrementally, sometimes with controversy, but with each generation building on what came before. Every once in a while a new idea or a new technology produced a dramatic leap forward. We will consider how current understanding of central aspects of respiration, digestion, kidney function, the sympathetic nervous system, and the pituitary gland developed through the years. In so doing, students will gain at least a rudimentary understanding of these topics of physiology.
