| Aim: A natural continuation of NBIC25, the course will focus on the concept of physiological adaptations and homeostasis of vertebrates species (including man) to stable and unstable environments . A special emphasis will be placed on the quantitative integration of physiological processes and the role of the nervous and endocrine systems to achieve homeostasis. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course consists of lectures and laboratories. The course will also include a literature study which should be presented in a written report (in English) and at seminars (oral presentation). In order of importance: literature study, problem solving sessions, laboratory exercises and lectures. |
|||
| Course contents: The problem solving sessions will deal with quantitative aspects of metabolism and scaling, oxygen transport in the blood and glomerular filtration rates. The lectures include: homeostasis, diving physiology in man and marine mammals, special metabolic states (exercise) and physiology of development. |
|||
| Course literature: Eckert Animal Physiology (5th edition) by Randall, Burggren and French |
