GER 3310 - Biology of Aging

Credits: 3 hrs

This lecture course studies anatomical and physiological changes and adjustments occurring over time as part of normal developmental processes and those that result from intrinsic, progressive, irreversible and deleterious changes of Senescence. Comparisons of the structure and function of systems in organisms, primary in the human body, will be made to distinguish between age-related and pathological and other environmentally induced changes.
