About the Course

This course is an upper level physiology laboratory course. We have approached teaching advanced physiology in the laboratory from a unique perspective, that of a research lab (within time (4 hour lab/week) and monetary constraints). Students are expected to take the initiative to prepare for the lab and when creating their lab reports, to do so in the form of a peer-reviewed journal article. This course takes considerable time and effort. The reward is the ability to think independently, troubleshoot, and learn current research techniques that are useful in research, graduate and medical school.

Computer Resources

Microcomputer sites.

There are a number of sites across campus. Check with CITES for a current directory and available hardware and software. You can log into our servers from these sites. Remember that there are a number of different ways to put together a Macintosh system. This can result in screens that are smaller than those we have in the lab and less memory.

 

Data Acquisition

PowerLab is data recording solution for the life sciences. It features real-time display of experimental data, quick data manipulation, on-line computations, convenient file storage and report-standard data presentation.

With the Macintosh operating system (Mac OS) interface, MacLabs is a fast, multi-channel data recorder, recording up to 200 KHz, that is intuitive to use.

Animal Use

Some animal dissection and the use of animal tissues are required in this course. Alternatives are not available. Inquires concerning the use of dissection and animal tissues can be directed to the instructor or Head of the Department.
