Objectives of the Course | | By the end of this course students should be able to clearly explain in appropriate scientific terminology fundamental physiological processes and their implication in disease:
(1) the mechanism of breathing and gas exchange
(2) the mechanism of action potential generation in the heart and its difference from neuron's action potential
(3) the mechanism of blood pressure generation and maintenance
(4) the mechanism of nephron participation in homeostasis of solutes and water, and its regulation
(5) the mechanism of digestion and absorption, including autonomic gastrointestinal regulation and its participation in nutrient homeostasis
(6) mechanisms of prenatal sex determination, gametogenesis, including effect and regulation of sex hormones
Students will also gain experience with mosquito's anatomy and physiology. |
