110-120. Medical
Physiology Donald Bartlett, Jr., Course Director
The purpose of the Medical Physiology course is to help first year
students to acquire an understanding of the fundamental organization
and functions of each of several major organ systems and of the integration
and interactions of these systems with one another. The goal is both
to comprehend natural processes and to see how these processes enable
the individual adapt and survive in the face of changing needs and
resources. The emphasis is on understanding mechanisms rather than
on memorizing details, but sufficient detail must be included to serve
as a basis for later understanding of abnormal function and its consequences
in disease states and for understanding rational therapy with drugs
and other interventions. The major subjects included in the course
are the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and renal
systems.
The material
necessary for a basic appreciation of the subject is offfered
in two parts: the cardiovascular and respiratory aspects are given
in Physiology 110, given during the Fall 2008 term, and renal
and endocrine aspects are presented in Physiology 120, given in
the Winter 2009 term.
124. Ethical Conduct of Research (Identical to Pharmacology
124) William G. North & Staff
This course is required for all graduate students supported by NIH
training grants within the institution, but all other graduate students
are stronlgy encouraged to attend. There will be approximately seven
one-hour lecture/discussion sessions with the times to be arranged.
Topics will include: scientific freedom, ethical treatment of data,
ethical use of laboratory animals, priority of discovery, fraud and
deception, and science and the political process.
