Focuses on alterations in cell function and systemic manifestations by using selected contemporary, prevalent disease states. Key emphasis on specific pathophysiology as integrated neural, hormonal, genetic, immune, and inflammatory response. Etiologic mechanisms associated with cell deregulation and specific and nonspecific responses that combine to restore normal cell-tissue-organ function.
