If you show up unannounced and without instructor consent for a different lab section, you will be asked to leave. Course Description: An introduction to the basic principles of animal physiology. An elementary discussion of the major vertebrate organ systems including nutrition, metabolism, respiration, circulation, excretion, muscle contraction, peripheral and central nervous system, and endocrine function emphasizing homeostasis. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours. Course Prerequisites: BIO 150-153 or equivalent introductory biology sequence, BIO 315, and CHE 105, CHE 107.Official Course Text Eckert Animal Physiology: Mechanisms and Adaptations, Fifth Edition, by David Randall, Warren Burggren, and Kathleen French.http://www.whfreeman.com/newcatalog.aspx?isbn=07167386351Other Course MaterialsYou will need a scientific calculator for lecture and laboratory activities. A calculator should be brought to all lectures and labs. Use of the calculator function on a cell phone or computer is not acceptable, and will not be allowed during quizzes or exams.There is no separate lab manual to purchase. All lecture and lab hand-outs are available for download by accessing the course website. Bio 350 Web Page (home page): http://web.as.uky.edu/Biology/faculty/cooper/bio350/TEACHING350FALL2011.htmOrganization of Bio 350 Animal Physiology: This course includes both lecture and lab components. The lecture content is organized, presented and overseen by Dr. Robin Cooper. The laboratory content is organized and overseen by Dr. Melody Danley. In addition, each laboratory section has one TA (graduate teaching assistant) that will help guide students through the hands-on portion of the lab, as well as grade all lab submissions. Each lab section has been set-up with a separate lab web page where collected lab data will be posted. This is the data that should be used for the lab report write ups (see below). The data will alsobe discussed in lecture, and may be used during lecture exams. Content presented in lecture and laboratories are expected to be integrative such that content on quizzes in lecture or the lab can be mixed. No laboratory section will have an advantage over the others as quizzes are different for each section and lecture exams are constructed so as not to cover content that particular sections might not have been exposed to. The "manual" for the lab exercises will be posted online within the web pages for each experiment. There is no separate lab manual to purchase. You will be responsible for printing out or having, in some means, the protocol to use for each laboratory period. Hard copies will not be provided. We cannot guarantee that the laboratories will have internet access during the lab period, so come prepared with a hard copy. BIO 350 Grade Progress Grades for all exams, labs reports, journal submissions, and quizzes will be made available through Blackboard.
