Advanced Physiology
Cursusdoel
- Discuss the integrated functions of the different organ systems in the mammalian body and the communication between organs via hormones and neural signalling.
- describe the main functions of all the organ systems and explain how they combine to achieve total body homeostasis.
- indicate which molecular and cellular physiological mechanisms are generic across all organ systems and which are specific for each organ system.
- predict the consequences of a derailment at the molecular or cellular level for the functioning of an organ system and the effects it will have on total body homeostasis.
- apply theoretical knowledge in several experimental settings to hypothesize about the possible outcome of in-vivo experiments, collect valuable data, and interpret results.
- employ basic laboratory skills and work respectfully with animals in a laboratory setting.
- read scientific literature and discriminate between good and bad scientific reports.
- write their own scientific reports according to good scientific practice.
Vakinhoudelijk
This course takes examples from human and animal physiology to explain the working mechanisms and principles of physiology acting throughout the mammalian realm. Students perform two live physiological experiments involving several mammalian species. We have chosen experiments that put a minimal amount of strain on the animals, and that the animal ethical committee of Utrecht University has approved. Students are expected to display a professional attitude and preparedness while working with animals. A short entrance test precedes these experiments. Based on their data from experimentation, students write two scientific reports.
