PHYSIOLOGY

Physiology C1: Histology C1 and Biochemistry C1 prerequisite.—Lectures,
recitations, and demonstrations, 5 hours weekly during the first term and 4 hours
during the second term; laboratory work, 7 hours weekly during the first term,
3 hours weekly during the second term.
In the lecture course attention is drawn
to the fundamental branches of the subject, and the more difficult aspects are
thoroughly discussed. Recent important physiological contributions are evaluated,
and the student is directed further to consult various monographs and original
papers.

The laboratory work consists of preliminary elemental experiments on the
neuromuscular system, followed by intensive courses in mammalian and in human
physiology. The latter are designed particularly to train students to observe and
record, and to interpret and make deductions from their results. Suggestive outlines
only are provided for the experimental studies. The course is particularly
devised to stimulate and correlate the student's consideration of the activities of
the organism as a whole. Emphasis is given to those branches of physiology
which should prove valuable in later work in medicine.
