Students registering in post-secondary level courses (numbered 100 to 499) will be required to meet the requirements. Students in ELS or the University Foundations programs can register in those courses identified in the with lower levels of language proficiency.
Please note that not all courses are offered every semester.
4 credits
Human Anatomy and Physiology I
Prerequisite(s): Admission to the Nursing program
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
The principles of human anatomy and physiology are the focus of this course. Selected organ systems are examined in detail with emphasis on the relationship between anatomy and physiology. The cell biology and histology including the chemical processes that occur in cells will be included. The relationship between structure and function will be discussed and concepts such as pathophysiology and homeostasis will be introduced with each system. This course builds on basic knowledge from biology (grade 12) and chemistry (grade 11). The course will use both lecture and laboratory sessions to enhance the learning outcomes associated with the course content.
Prerequisite(s): Enrolment in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program; HSC 111
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.

In this course concepts and principles of pharmacotherapeutics will be presented. Key drug classifications will be discussed in relationship to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and their effects on particular body systems.
Prerequisite(s): Enrolment in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program; HSC 113, HSC 116
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
This course introduces the study of the physiology of alterations in health. Students will build on existing knowledge of human anatomy and physiology by examining pathophysiological states. Physiologic changes and responses to illness are addressed in four separate units which encompass the effects of illness on selected body systems and functions. Related microbiology, immunology and pharmacology content will be integrated throughout each unit to reflect the interrelated and holistic nature of the body's response to illness.
Prerequisite(s): Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and NURS 104, NURS 105, NURS 106, HSC 113, and HSC 116.
Corequisite(s): NURS 201, NURS 202, and NURS 203.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
The focus of this course is the physiological alterations in health. Students will build on existing knowledge of human anatomy and physiology by exploring pathophysiological processes.
This course is a continuation of the study of physiology of alterations in health. Students will build on existing knowledge of pathophysiology presented in Pathophysiology I (HSC 210). Physiologic changes and responses to illness are addressed in four separate units encompassing the effects of illness on selected body systems and functions. Related content of microbiology, immunology and pharmacology will be integrated throughout each unit to capture the interrelated and holistic nature of the body's response to illness.
