The course of study in this subject begins with the spring term of the
first year and continues throughout the second year. It is divided as
follows:
Physiology 1: Physiological Chemistry.—Given in the spring
term of the first year. The fundamentals of physiological chemistry;
especially the chemical structure, properties, and reactions of the more
important compounds with which the student must deal in his subsequent
studies of physiology. Instruction is given by lectures, recitations, and
extensive laboratory work, for which ample facilities are provided. Practical
laboratory tests during the course, as well as a written examination
at the end, are required.
A grade of 70 per cent. on this course is required for admission to
Physiology 2. Open only to students who have attained a grade of 70 per
cent. in Professor Bird's course in Organic Chemistry.
Physiology 2.—Four hours weekly of lectures, recitations and
demonstrations throughout the second year; six hours weekly of
laboratory work throughout the first two terms. The physiology of muscle
and nerve; blood and lymph; the circulation; respiration; secretion;
digestion and nutrition; excretion; the sense organs, and the central nervous
system. The applications of physiology to personal hygiene are discussed
in conferences.
The satisfactory completion of the laboratory work is as necessary to
a clear record as the passing of final examinations. Open only to students
who have obtained a grade of 70 per cent. in Histology and Physiological
Chemistry.
