About This Course
Study.com Biology 106: Pathophysiology explores how disease disrupts normal physiology across body systems — cellular injury and adaptation, inflammation and immunity, fluid and electrolyte balance, hemodynamics, genetic and neoplastic processes, and common disorders of cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, nervous, musculoskeletal, and reproductive systems. Video lessons, practice, and assessments align with an introductory college pathophysiology survey. Credit is earned through the College Accelerator plan; courses carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations. Always confirm transfer with your receiving institution.
