(crosslisted)
(also BIOMS 3190)

Fall. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Pre- or corequisite: BIOAP 3110. For pre-med/pre-vet juniors, seniors, and graduate students interested in biomedical science.

E. R. Loew, N. A. Lorr, and staff.

Student-conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments designed to illustrate basic physiological processes, physiological research techniques, instrumentation, experimental design, and interpretation of results. Techniques include anesthesia, surgical procedures, dissection, and real-time computer recording and analysis. Experiments with isolated living tissues or live anesthetized animals examine properties of membranes and epithelia, blood, nerves, skeletal and smooth muscle; cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and reproductive function and their regulation by the nervous and endocrine systems.
