Class Objectives
/Class Outline After studying this subject, you should be able to:
・ Understand the concept of homeostasis and know the effectiveness and beauty of the body’s homeostasis mechanisms.
・ Understand the basis of the cell/neuron structure and function.
・ Define the resting membrane potential, and describe the changes in ionic channels that underlie the action potential.
・ Describe the mechanisms underlying muscle cell excitation-contraction coupling.
・ Understand the main molecular and morphological features of chemical and electrical transmission at synapses.
・ Explain the essential elements of sensory perception and coding, and describe the neural pathways that transmit sensory information.
・ Explain the essential elements of the neural basis of behavior.
・ Name the neurotransmitter released by autonomic nerves, and outline the functions of the autonomic neurons.
・ Describe the various type of long-term memory and define synaptic plasticity in learning and memory.
・ List the hormones, explain the machineries that regulate hormone secretion, and briefly describe the action of each.
・ Describe the essential elements and functional significance of the gastrointestinal system.
・ Understand the origin of the electrical activity of the heart, and outline the cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms.
・ Understand the function and regulatory mechanisms of the respiratory system involved in gas transport and pH control.
・ Understand the essential elements of the renal function of body fluid homeostasis.
