DENT 1115 - Physiology

[92 Hours]

The principles of cellular and tissue functions and of the regulation and coordination of action of all major organs and systems are studied. Emphasis is placed upon topics that exhibit specific relationships to the health of oral structures and activities that bear direct relationship to problems that arise in dentistry. Computer teaching aids, including didactic animations and power-point presentations, are used in this course. The laboratory is modern. It utilizes computer recording and analysis for student experiments. Problem solving is also a part of the laboratory environment. The subjects that are studied in laboratory experiments and presented in demonstrations are correlated closely with lectures and conferences. (Department of Physiology)
