T Th 12:00 – 1:15 CLCC 246
Class Number 22657
Instructor: Dr. Lara Ferry Office: FAB N 153 e-mail: Lara.Ferry@asu.edu Phone: 543-2817 my lab website: http://morphology.asu.edu
Office Hours: 11:00 – 12:00 Tu/Th, and by appointment. Course description: Principles and mechanisms of physiological regulation in animals, with a focus on humans.
Required Text: Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach, 6th edition by Silverthorn with Mastering A&P and Physio Ex.
If you have an older edition (i.e. the 5th edition), the content is similar, however you need access to Physio Ex within Mastering A&P (which also came with the 5th ed) to complete the virtual

Your response(s) to the course/instructor are anonymous and will not be returned to your instructor until after grades have been submitted. The use of a course/instructor evaluation is an important process that allows our college to (1) help faculty improve their instruction, (2) help administrators evaluate instructional quality, (3) ensure high standards of teaching, and (4) ultimately improve instruction and student learning over time. Completion of the evaluation is not required for you to pass this class and will not affect your grade, but your cooperation and participation in this process is critical. About two weeks before the class finishes, watch for an e-mail with "NCIAS Course/Instructor Evaluation” in the subject heading. The email will be sent to your official ASU e-mail address.
Withdrawals: The instructor will NOT withdraw students for any reason. Specifically, students should be aware that non-attendance will NOT automatically result in their being dropped from the course. Therefore, if a student does not attend class during the first
Task2: The main tissue types of the body and the role these play in two named organs of the body.

This essay will explain the physiologies of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system and how they work in the metabolism of energy in the body.
Briefly describe the importance of the interaction between the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in maintaining the body’s internal balance
In this task I will be examining how the different body systems use energy and why the body needs energy. I will also be analysing cellular respiration which is the process in which energy is made, along with the by-products and anabolism and catabolism. Later on in this task I will be analysing how ATP is used in muscle action, protein production and how we as mammals use the energy released as heat.

The two physiological disorders I will be talking about in this assignment is hypertension and Diabetes.
unit 5 P5- Explain the concept homeostasis with reference to the control of heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature and blood glucose.
I am going to explain the physiology of the respiratory and cardiovascular system in relation to the energy metabolism in the body.
In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. Whilst explaining the two body systems I will be explaining energy production, process of cellular respiration, the role of enzymes within these body systems, the way that these systems absorb food and the products of digestion.
1:1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals.
* An explanation of the physiology of two named body system, and their role in the utilisation of energy in the body. An examples of 2 systems the you could discuss are as
The heart serves an important purpose within the body, pumping blood throughout the circulatory system to supply all parts of the body with vital nutrients and molecules. It pumps oxygen and nutrient rich blood to be exchanged for carbon dioxide, which is then pumped to the lungs and eliminated from the body. The movement of blood throughout the body is due to the heart’s ability to push blood along the circulatory system at a steady, unfaltering rate. This rate, known as heart rate, is regulated and can be altered at a moment’s notice by signaling within the body and heart itself. In vertebrates, the autonomic nervous system controls and regulates heart rate. The autonomic nervous system is divided into two subunits, the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nerve that innervates the heart is the vagus nerve. In this laboratory experiment, the regulation of heart rate was observed by studying a certain breed of turtle, the Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans). Both chemical and electric signaling can influence the components of the nervous
The problem is that I had a lot of absence and I missed 3 quizzes because of my pregnancy and delivery. Professor Sandvik will only excuse 2 absences and she will not give me an opportunity to get make up quizzes, which impact on my grade, significantly. She said, "Will nearly ensure that you fail the class. You should check with your advisor to see if it would be better to withdraw from the class so you do not hurt your grade point."
For the study, published in the journal Frontiers in Physiology, the authors sifted through hundreds of studies with the potential
