<h2>The Core of Physiology</h2>
<p>
U2 is the most vigorous year of the program. With our base of knowledge in earlier years, we take courses that bridge the gap between textbook science and the frontiers of research. This is the year that we get an in-depth yet varied taste of research initiatives and different body systems. We will gain a conceptual understanding of how intricately our beautiful bodies thrive.
<br /><br />
While the 300 level physiology courses are known to be killer, it is important to get involved with the community of people you will be with in all of your classes. Don’t forget to come out to events run by PULS to meet people with similar interests, make friends, and have an excellent year!
<br /><br />
</p>
<h2>Courses</h2>
<p>A comparison table that summarizes these core courses can be found <a href="#summary">below.</a> Advice given here is purely based on students' opinions and past experiences. They are in no way an accurate reflection of what the courses have to give, and views expressed here are not necessarily the views expressed by the Department of Physiology, the Faculty of Science, or McGill University.</p>
<br />
<h3>PHGY 311 - Channels, Synapses, and Hormones</h3>
<br />
<p>
In-depth presentation of experimental results and hypotheses on cellular communication in the nervous system and the endocrine system.
<br /><br />
Prerequisite: PHGY 209 or Permission of Course Coordinator
<br /><br />
</p>
<h3>PHGY 312 - Respiratory, Renal, and Cardiovascular Physiology</h3>
<p>
<br />
In-depth presentation of experimental results and hypothese underlying our current understanding of topics in renal, respiratory and cardiovascular functions explored beyond the introductory level.
<br /><br />
Prerequisite: PHGY 209, PHGY 210
<br /><br />
<h3>PHGY 313 - Blood, Gastrointestinal, and Immune Systems Physiology</h3>
<br />
In-depth presentation of experimental results and hypotheses underlying our current understanding of the physiology topics in immunology, blood and fluids, and gastrointestinal physiology.
<br /><br />
Prerequisite: PHGY 209, PHGY 210, PHGY 311 <br />
Or permission from Course Coordinators
</p>
<br />
<h3>PHGY 314 - Integrative Neuroscience</h3>
<br />
<p>
In-depth presentation of experimental results and hypotheses underlying our current understanding of how single neurons and ensembles of neurons encode sensory information, generate movement, and control cognitive functions such as emotion, learning, and memory, during voluntary behaviors.
<br /><br />
Prerequisite: PHGY 209

<li>There are not much practice questions to work on so use what is available to you very diligently</li>

<li>The cardiovascular section requires some graph reading</li>
<li>The renal section requires you to purchase a course pack that is very dense, and actually holds examinable material that is NOT covered in lecture (kind of like an additional textbook)</li>
<li>You are given a 200+ question bank to study from for the respiratory section but no answer key is provided </li>
