TA’s:Bo Deng (Wed/Fri)e-mail: bodeng@ucla.eduOH Mon 2 – 4 pm (LS 5323)Grace Liu (Tues/Thur)e-mail glueliu@ucla.eduOH Mon 3-4 pm (LS 5826)Wed 3-4 pm (LS 5826)Faculty:Since the 111L course is designed to complement the 111L lecture series each ofthe laboratory modules was developed in collaboration with faculty involved in theteaching of the 111L lecture courses. In addition to those faculty (listed below in theorder according to which their respective laboratory modules appear in this course), Dr.Scott Chandler, Dr. Gordon Fain, and Dr. Judith Smith who previously lectured in the111A, 111B, and 111C courses, contributed to the development of those laboratorymodules relevant to their teaching area is as follows:Dr. Peter Narins – Computer Simulation of Action PotentialDr. Peter Narins – Action Potential in frog nerveDr. David Glanzman – ElectromyographyDr. James Tidball – Frog skeletal muscle contractionDr. James Barnard – Human electrocardiogram and blood pressureDr. Nicholas Mellen – Human RespirationDr. Nasser Farahbakhsh – Active sodium transport in frog skinDr. Nasser Farahbakhsh – Computer simulation of water & solute movement in kidneyDr. Barney Schlinger – Hormonal control of reproduction
Instructional Policy and Evaluation of PerformancePhysiology is concerned with the study of the function of individual tissues andorgans and how they interact within the whole organism. Our understanding of theseinteractions and their contribution to homeostasis has developed from experimentalmeasurements of the properties of living tissues.The laboratory in Physiological Science (PS111L) has been designed toaccomplish the following objectives:•To directly observe phenomena discussed in lecture and describe in the textbook•To provide hands – on experience in collecting physiological data•TO learn to interpret experimental data and based on analysis of the data to drawmeaningful conclusionsIn keeping with these objectives, the following guidelines should help you inunderstanding what is expected of you in this laboratory course:1. Attendance at all laboratory sessions is required:Any unexcused absences will adversely affect your performance in the course,since there will be no provision for you to make up any missed sessions. If you miss alaboratory session in this manner you will not be permitted to turn in a laboratory reportor problem set using data from someone else, since development of practical, dataacquisition skills is one of the primary objectives of the course.2. Time and Location:Each weekly laboratory session is in room 5323 Life Sciences Building, exceptfor the computer simulation sessions (weeks 2 and 9) which will be held in the ScienceLearning Center (Room TBA, Young Hall) after the introductory talk in LS 5323. Withthe exception of the computer simulation sessions, you will work as a member of a teamwith one or two other students; team assignments will be made during the first week ofthe course.3. Submissions of laboratory reports and problem sets:Following the completion of laboratory sessions in weeks 2 – 10, you will berequired to submit a laboratory report or answers to a problem set (which format will bespecified in the laboratory instructions) for grading (see below, #5). All assignments aredue at the beginning of the next laboratory session, (the TA will check in assignmentsduring class), unless stated otherwise by the course instructor or TA. Assignments whichare late will be penalized 2 points for each day it is late, up to a maximum of 20 points,after which that assignment may be turned in before the end of the quarter with nopenalty beyond the maximum.4. Preparation of Laboratory Reports and problem sets:Results from four of the laboratory sessions (weeks 3,5,6, and 8) will be presentedas Laboratory Reports, designed to provide you with experience in writing and analyzing
