Unit 1

Human Physiology Unit 1

A Note About Class Notes

(Bring to class on paper or access via your computer or mobile device)
NOTE:  For each lecture I have provided 3 versions of notes - the text is identical, but non-essential photos have been removed from the "Handouts" version and some slides are condensed to save paper and ink. 

  • "HANDOUTS" = 3 slides per page with lines to the right of each (best for printing)
  • "GRID" = 4 slides per page (also good for printing)
  • "SLIDES" = has 1 slide per page (best for viewing and annotating on a laptop, tablet or phone)
