| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2008 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 2 |
| Administered by: | Discipline of Physiology & Pharmacology |
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.
