Correction from the review! 
Yes in fact muscarinic receptors can inhibit and activate the production of second messengers!  Inhibition like we saw with adenylate cyclase in the heart; where g proteins inhibit adenylate cyclase and reduce the amount of cAMP.  AND excite: like happens in the GUT muscle where g proteins stimulate production of second messenger (IP3)!

I will omit question #6 on the quiz: to reflect that ACh can produce as well as inhibit second messengers!
Sorry for the confusion.  Please lert mew know if this does not makes sense in an email and I can try and clarify.

Essay Question #1: was missing a word in the question.

21. a. Using your understanding of phospholipids and the cell membrane, describe how altering the saturation of the phospholipid, the degree of cholesterol, and the temperature could affect the fluidity of the membrane.  Include in your answer an explanation of the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats both structurally and with regards to fluidity. 

    b. If a membrane was designed to allow a lot of cell signaling between membrane proteins, how would the membrane likely the structured with respect to phospholipid and cholesterol and WHY.

Welcome to Human Physiology Biology 48
5 units
Lecture 3 hours; Laboratory 6 hours, 2 lab hours by arrangement
Prerequisite: Completion of Human anatomy (bio47) and college chemistry course. 
Recommended preparation: Math 103 & 103R
Acceptable for credit: University of California, California State University

This course will cover principles and concepts of physiology through comprehensive study of the regulation, cellular function, and integration of the major body systems of the human body.

8/4/19 Class starts  Aug 27th  Be sure to show up the first day of lecture on August 27th at 7:45am in SM36 followed by lab at either 9:20am or 12:50pm in SM52. Anyone that misses the first day will be automatically dropped to allow students eager to add to have that opportunity.  ALL ADDS will be done in lab the following week.

Please purchase the lab manual from the Campus Bookstore before the second class meeting, August. 29th or download Lab 2 from the link below:

Things to do to get a head start :

1. Ready over Syllabus : You can down load a printable version of the Syllabus(pdf).

2. Take the Syllabus Quiz : Down load the quiz (SyllabusQuiz pdf.  )and answer the questions after reading.  You will be turning this in Sept 5th.

3. Complete the CHEMISTRY WORKSHEET contained in your lab manual appendix (or Download Chemistry Work Sheet (pdf.): If you do not feel comfortable with the material you can review chapter 2 and 6 in your text book.  In addition many students have found helpful the optional text (An Introduction to Chemistry for Biology Students by  George Sackhein ; ISBN # 0-8053-3075-5).  The review sheet is designed to allow you to judge whether you have a basic knowledge of general chemistry.  If the review seems difficult or the terms seem completely foreign, I would suggest retaking a general chemistry course BEFORE attempting Physiology.  Make sure you are setting yourself up for success!

4. Read Lab ONE: You can down load a printable version of Lab ONE (pdf.)

5. Read Lab TWO: You can down load a printable version of Lab TWO(pdf.)

6. Read Lab Two a (2a) : Metric Supplement : Lab 2a (pdf)

7. Read Lab Two b (2b) : Microscope :Lab 2b (pdf) 

8/4/19 ADDING:

The sections are both capped at 28.  Because we offered a summer section of Bio48 and we currently offering a night section, the afternoon section has plenty of space to accommodate student adds.  If you would like to add, please come to the afternoon lab starting at 12:50 in SM52.  Please be sure to also attend the morning lecture.   I will be adding to each section up to 30 students.  Students will be added strictly off of the waitlist first and then students if they are present the first week.   

8/4/19 Things to do the first week: 
1. Down load the Syllabus Quiz ; Due Thursday Sept. 5th 2. Down load the Lecture Handout; Look in the lecture outline page (link above) , begin answering the study questions.
3. Complete the Student information / time management worksheet (Due Sept 5th) handed out in class
3. Complete the Chemistry Work sheet  ; in lab manual appendix
4. Complete the Metric Supplement: In lab manual (Lab 2a (pdf))or you can down load by clicking the link
8/4/19 Purchasing Course Books: Several options are available to you: 

1. Viking Bookstore : West Valley Campus Bookstore: You can Purchase all of the books listed in the syllabus directly from the bookstore located  on West Valley campus. The bookstore also provides an online service (http://westvalley.bkstore.com/) so that you can reserve books & pick them up later or make arrangements for home delivery.   Unfortunately the laboratory manual can only be ordered from the campus bookstore.  It should be available one week before classes start.
Text Book: Human Physiology, 14th Edition, Stuart I. Fox, McGraw Hill, ISBN  #9780073403625                                                         teximage

Lab Manual : BIOLOGY 48 - Human Physiology Course Manual, WEST VALLEY COLLEGE, 
                        Biology Department; C. Peters-StantonBIo48F11_Cover

 Note: You may choose to use an alternate edition, but there will be differences in the graphics, tables, and clinical notes

2. Online Ordering : For ordering all materials except the laboratory manual.  Since the prices of texts books is definitely a concern you may want to look into purchasing textbooks from a less expensive internet vendor.  The only concern is how long it will take to deliver the text.  If you choose to order from an internet site and your text does not arrive when classes start you can keep up with the required reading by using the text on reserve in the library.
       Amazon.com   or  Half.com or  cheapbooks.com
 If you have knowledge of any other sources please let me know (email: Christine Peters-Stanton)

3. WVC Library (Reserve Desk) : The Library's reserve desk will have one copy of the current text book which can be checked out for 2 hour blocks of time.  Do not wait until the last minute to do your reading since others may also be relying on the reserve text for their reading.  The library is open M - Th 8:00am - 7:30pm , F 8:00 - 12 noon, S noon - 4:00   (408) 741-2028

PLEASE PURCHASE LAB MANUAL BEFORE SECOND LAB (or download lab two above)
 

8/4/19 Tutoring: Two choices

1. Free tutoring is available in the tutorial services at WVC.  Visit their web page to learn more.
