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. |

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. |

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. Lab Manual : BIOLOGY 48 -
Human Physiology Course Manual, WEST VALLEY
COLLEGE, 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. 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

Lab Data Acquisition Program: ADinstruments (LabChart) This semester you will be using a data acquisition system to collect and analyze lab data on the classroom Macbooks. You will be able to save your data for further analysis by copying the data onto a USB flash drive (you must provide) during lab and taking the data home to reveiw on your computer. You must be sure to save your data in both Mac and PC formats (from the drop down menu in the save dialog box). You will need to download the FREE LabChart Reader software onto your computer available from ADinstruments: http://www.adinstruments.com/products/labchart-reader Click on the link above navigate to the ADInstrument web site, down load either the MAC or PC(windows) versions. To find out if your computer is able to use LabChart Reader, visit the ADInstruments Software system requirements page. Remember to bring a USB flash drive to class if you want to take your data home and analyze it further. Downloadable instructions (pdf) for saving data on the classroom computers |
