The Reproductive Physiology Modules represent the reproductive block of the physiology course for first year medical students. Beginning with such topics as the origins of cholesterol and pathways of steroid synthesis, the modules lead students through the role of steroid hormones in puberty, reproduction, and – in the female – in pregnancy and lactation. Animations and clinical photographs also address the issues of what happens when there is a deficiency in a steroid hormone. Each module is narrated and includes guide questions and objectives. A Blackboard course, currently available only to UC College of Medicine students, also provides interactive quizzes on the material covered.
