The student will use dissections, 3-D models, computer simulations and experimentation to gain a better understanding of the various structural components of mammalian organ systems and anatomy. One three-hour laboratory weekly, taken concurrently with BI 300. BI 302 Mammalian Physiology 3 cr. An in-depth study of mammalian physiology. Emphasis will be placed on the study of physiological regulation of the various organ systems at the molecular, cellular, organ and organ-system level.
Laboratory study includes practical application of concepts learned in the lecture.
The students gain experience operating laboratory equipment and computer interface programs to measure physiological processes. One three-hour laboratory weekly, taken concurrently with BI 302. Study of the chemistry and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Laboratory practice of biochemical techniques. Techniques include purification of proteins using chromatographic methods, gel electrophoresis, and spectrophotometric determination of protein concentration and enzymatic activity.
