This course is an introduction to the science of the actions of chemicals on biological systems. Emphasis is placed on the general concepts and principles which apply to the actions of all drugs. Three broad aspects of Pharmacology will be addressed in the course: (a) the mechanisms of drug action, (b) the use of drugs as tools in biological research, and (c) the toxic effects of chemicals, particularly environmental pollutants, on living systems. The course is primarily intended for 3rd- and 4th-year students in the biological sciences. Biology and biochemistry students can take this course for units as a science elective.
