Animal Physiology Lab Sessions

Through hands-on laboratory sessions, students will study various physiological regulatory mechanisms in animals.

Mastery of surgical techniques in rats to determine blood volume, osmotic diuresis and renal permeability, the effects of epinephrine and insulin on blood glucose levels, inulin clearance, and the mechanisms of glucose transport across the intestinal wall.

Study of the mechanical and electrical functioning of the frog's heart.

Learning all the elements necessary to successfully carry out the required lab protocol in order to obtain results and write a lab report.

Expertise:

Conduct experiments on animal models, statistically analyze the results obtained during each session, and derive scientific insights from them in order to write a report for each session.

-Interpersonal skills:

Comply with all ethical and safety guidelines related to the conduct of laboratory exercises using animal models.

Obtain experimental results, present them, and discuss them in scientific reports.
