PP3201 - Applied Physiology

Credit points:	03
Year:	2006
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:

This subject will build upon the basic and theoretical concepts of physiology taught at levels 2 and 3. Specifically, it will teach students about the array of technologies and methods currently employed in monitoring/quantitating physiological processes and the application of these methods to solve physiological problems. The subject will cover methods used in a variety of physiological systems with some emphasis on the cardiovascular system.

Learning Outcomes

• concepts of experimental design and the pros and cons of the different experimental methods in the in vivo and in vitro settings;
• imging modalities in clinical diagnosis;
• methods of analysis available for monitoring metabolic/biochemical and physiological responses in intact tissues;
• methods of image acquisition and analysis in isolated and in situ tissues;
• the classical and more recent methods for measurement of physiological variables in vivo and in vitro.
