From time to time, I run across an interesting article in digital form which is related to the physiology that we are studying in this class.  When I do, I copy it and paste it to here.  Below are the basic areas of physiology that we cover in the class, followed by the topic of each news article (if any) on that subject.   These are hyperlinks.  More are added as I find them, so this is an ever-growing (slowly) collection of articles. 

If you find an article that you think would be appropriate, please send it to me (by email or on a disk, naturally).
