The integration of biological subsystems into a coherent, functional organism is presented, in a course designed for students with either an engineering or life science background. Topics covered include major aspects of mammalian physiology, with an emphasis on mechanisms. The structure and function of each system is treated, as well as the interrelations and integration of their hormonal and neural control mechanisms. Studies how excitable tissue, nerves, and muscle, and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work. (Y)
