Student Learning Outcomes

• Predict the outcomes of laboratory exercises according to concepts, principles, and laws discussed in the course.
• Determine the number of ATP produced in the complete aerobic respiration of either a triglyceride, a simple sugar, or any combination thereof.
• Collect and analyze ECG data.
• Explain the mechanisms of cellular, cardiopulmonary, neuromuscular, sensory, digestive, renal, and reproductive physiology, and the regulation of these mechanisms.
• Describe key interactions between organ systems, including acid and base regulation, fluid balance, and metabolic regulation.
• Apply tools of the scientific method including data acquisition (conventional and computerized), simple statistical analysis, and presentation of data to reporting of data collected in laboratory activities.
• Make predictions and draw conclusions which demonstrate physiological principles of physical transport, bioenergetics, hemodynamics, cardiovascular and respiratory dynamics, digestive enzyme kinetics, and renal function.
• Predict changes in normal physiological pathways that occur in common pathologies.
