A major physiology course taught by various faculty in the Physiology Department. This course covers most important concepts in medical physiology, along with updated information and in-depth discussion in all fields of interest related to physiological function.

This course provides students’ hands-on experiences to perform the physiological experiments with human body, animals and computer simulation modeling systems.

The course covers the major structure and function of ion channels, the basic physiological mechanisms of voltage gated ion channels, and transmitter gated ion channels. Also a brief consideration will also be given to certain pathophysiological mechanisms leading to disease.

This on-line course provides definition and appropriate use of common medical terminology and abbreviations. It is especially beneficial for students who are newly committed in medical sciences and who have foreign culture background.

Self-study under the direction of a faculty mentor in a selected topic in physiology. A final report is required.

This course provides updated information regarding renal function and renal/hormonal control of blood pressure. The roles of kidney function in hypertension, diabetes mellitus and other human diseases are also covered.

Seminars in physiology present cutting edge research scientists of national prominence and Tulane Faculty. A one-page report is required at the end of each seminar.

This course provided current molecular mechanisms for cellular signal transduction pathways and hormone action including membrane receptors and downstream pathways, second messenger systems, receptor-ion channels, kinase/phosphatases, extracellular matrix signaling, signaling and cell death, Wnt signaling pathways and nuclear receptor signaling.

This advanced course covers in-depth topics in cardiovascular physiology and its association with other systems to regulate body function. The objective of the course is to provide the students with comprehensive knowledge of cardiac and vascular function and its regulation by neural, hormonal and other systems.
