1 Homeostasis 03 The goal of this lecture is to discuss the concept of homeostasis and to introduce basic signal transduction mechanisms involved in homeostatic regulation The sections for this lecture are: Basic concept the circle Homeostasis and the circle ignal transduction Life is a series of chemical reactions occurring in compartmentalized environments. The main purpose of life is to keep itself alive Physiology, the study of how life works, is based on the simultaneous occurrence of the following three concepts: levels of organization structure / function relationship homeostatic regulation The circle and the basics of signal transduction Course Outline Topic # Topic lecture ilverthorn Week 1 to week 2" Topic #1" Topic #2" Introduction (pre-requisite material)" Membranes (pre-requisite material)" " 1-5" 1-5" Pre-requisite" Material" (chapter # 5)" " Topic #3" Homeostasis and ignal Transduction" 6" " lectures, Topic #4" ndocrine Communication and the ndocrine ystem" 7" recitations, Topic #5" Neural Communication and the ensory ystem" 8-11" office hours, review, Topic #6" Muscle, Muscle Contraction and their Regulation" 12-13" exam1 " (chapter # 8)" RVIW #1 material from topic #01 #06 XAM #1 material from topic #01 #06 (33%) Week 3 to week 4" Topic #7" Topic #8" Basic Physiology of the Cardiovascular ystem" Basic Physiology of the Respiratory ystem" 14-17" 18" lectures, recitations, review, exam2" Topic #9" Basic Physiology of the Renal ystem" 19-20" (chapter # 7) " RVIW #2 material from topic #01 #09 XAM #2 material from topic #01 #09 (33%) Week 5 to week 6" Topic #10" Topic #11" Basic Physiology of the Gastrointestinal ystem" Food Intake, Metabolism, nergy Balance and xercise" 21 " 23-25" lectures, recitations, review, exam3" Topic #12" From exual Differentiation to Adult Reproduction" 26" (chapter # 6)" RVIW #3 material from topic #01 #12 XAM #3 material from topic #01 #12 (33%) 1-26" 1-26" " (all tests are cumulative) 1
