A course of three lectures per week, with practical work, throughout the year.
SYLLAnхs.
(i) Physiology:
About forty lectures. The course will deal with the physiology of the cell, including the concepts of steady state and irritability, properties of cell membranes, ionic content of cells, active transfer of materials, special properties of nerve and muscle, including junctional transmission. This will lead to a consideration of the functional dependence of cells upon their environment and the control of the internal environment in mammals, with special reference to the roles of the endocrines and the autonomic nervous system.
(ii) Pharmacology:
About thirty-five lectures on the mode of action of drugs on cells, the elementary pharmacology of the more important drugs used in therapeutics, and the theory of biological assay, including statistical methods. In addition, six lectures will be given on General Biochemistry, including Intermediate Metabolism and the bio
-
chemical principles of drug action.
PRACTICAL Worm. Twelve hours per week, which will include standard physio- logical and pharmacological techniques, electro-physiology, biological assay, and the action of drugs and hormones in the mammal.
