Biol 436 - Human Physiology Lab
Blackboard - Biol 436-CX is the combined sections of this class, it will have all class
material.
NOTE: Cover May Be
Different Color
CLASS ADVICE: This will be a very fast paced course and at times intensive, it is assumed that since
you have already taken a physiology class (or are currently enrolled), that only comprehensive reviews of
the material covered in the labs will be required and given. Being an upper division, undergraduate
laboratory course also implies that you demonstrate a fairly "in depth" knowledge of physiology as
determined by examination.
Sensor: Detects
deviation from set
point
Integrating center:
Determines response
Effector: Produces
response
Homeostasis

As organisms increase in complexity, this leads to
specialization.
What systems do humans have?
Transport Across Membranes
1. Diffusion
a. Passive/Simple
b. Facilitated
2. Active Transport
a. ATP-Driven
b. Ion-Gradient(Electrochemical)-Driven
(AKA Secondary Active
Transport)
3. Exocytosis and Endocytosis

Stomach
The Small Intestine is considered the only real site for
Chemical Digestion!
Liver makes/secretes bile. The
bile is a solution of salts of
cholesterol and pigments from
the breakdown of hemoglobin
that is stored in the gall
bladder: serves as emulsifying
agent to disperse fat droplets,
so that lipase can act upon the
lipids (primarily
triglycerides).
What is a catalyst?
