Teaching and Learning Integrative Physiology Series
Physiology educators are in high demand. However, they are often asked to teach content that is beyond their research expertise. At the same time, physiology curricula at all educational levels are moving toward an integrated approach to facilitate student learning. Educators are increasingly being asked to teach and explore the connections among physiological systems. In response to extensive input from American Physiological Society members, the Center for Physiology Education has created the Teaching and Learning Integrative Physiology Series. This series is a collection of learning modules focused on the core concepts of physiology and provides physiology educators with the tools to develop and teach integrated physiology content.
Core Concepts of Physiology Learning Module
Authors: Joel Michael, PhD, and Jenny McFarland, PhD
The core concepts of physiology provide a framework for content that facilitates student learning and application across physiological systems.
Autonomic Nervous System Learning Module
Author: Susan Barman, PhD, FAPS
As a fundamental component of integrative physiology, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates and coordinates most physiological functions.
Homeostasis Learning Module
Author: Mary Pat Wenderoth, PhD
Comprehending how and when homeostasis occurs is essential to learning and teaching integrative physiology.
Flow Down Gradients Learning Module
Author: Jennifer Doherty, PhD
In this learning module, educators will access tools that will help their students apply their knowledge of flow down gradients across physiological systems.
