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. Each student is held responsible for preparing
during the year a thesis of his own choice on some phase of physiology.
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
and emphasis is given to those branches of physiology which should prove
valuable in later work in medicine.
