Contact: 52 hours of lectures and 40 hours of practical classes, research projects, demonstrations, tutorials and/or discussion groups.
Timetable: Double semester.
Objectives:
Students completing the program in Veterinary Physiology 1 and 2 should know and understand:
- the terminology of physiology;
- the principles, and possess the essential information regarding the functions of different cell types and their interactions in organs and tissues;
- the mechanisms by which the organ systems are controlled and coordinated in the normal animal body;
- the numerical values and ranges of physiological variables commonly used to assess normal function and health in animals;
- how to organise, conduct and document experiments on physiological systems;
- how to analyse data from class experiments and to validate the data against published information; and
- how to synthesise observations and experimental data in forms suitable for oral and written presentations.
Content:
An extension of Physiology 1: physiology of the nervous system; ruminant physiology; physiological responses to exercise; cardiovascular and respiratory physiology; endocrinology including hormone receptors; regulation of growth and development; comparative physiology of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive and endocrinological systems
Assessment:
