Course objective: Understanding mechanisms by which key physiological priorities are maintained in healthy humans. From a basis in elementary theories of information and control, we develop an understanding of homeostasis of cellular composition, structure, and energy metabolism. We then study neural and endocrine signaling in humans, and develop the key concepts of control and homeostasis in all the major organ and multi-organ systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, metabolic, reproductive, and immune systems, growth and development, and sensory and motor systems.


Textbook, access to course software, iClicker For this course you will need: 1) Textbook 2) Mastering A&P access code 3) iClicker Textbook: Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach, D.U. Silverthorn, A custom edition for the University of California, Berkeley, 2013 (ISBN 9781256953876). The ASUC bookstore sells for $120 a bundle that includes: the custom textbook, Mastering A&P access code and a $10 iClicker rebate card . Mastering A&P is a website administered by the publisher of the textbook that contains online tutorials, homework assignments, practice tests and online assessments. You will need access to Mastering A&P to do homework assignments. If you end up not purchasing the book, you will need to buy individual access from Pearson Publishing. iClickers will be used in class for in-class quizzes and to encourage interaction in lectures. Office hours: Daniela Kaufer Location to be announced Monday 11-12 am Thursday 10:00-10:30 am

Steve Lehman 5112 VLSB Tuesday 10:30-11:00 am Friday 9-10 am Chi-An Emhoff 3047 VLSB Monday and Wednesday 3:30-5:00 pm Lecture slides: Slides of each lectures PowerPoint presentation will be posted in pdf format on the class bSpace site after each lecture.
Email policy: Questions on lecture material will be answered in class and during office hours. Email is reserved for emergency purposes.


Grading The course grade will be determined by scores on in-class quizzes, homework assignments two midterm exams, and the final exam. The weighting of these five components will be: 10% - quizzes in class (using iClickers). 10% - homework assignments (using Mastering A&P) 20 % midterm 1 (multiple choice test, in class) 20 % midterm 2( multiple choice test, in class) 40% final exam (multiple choice test, cumulative) Quizzes: A quiz on the days assigned reading, using iClickers, will precede most lectures (starting on 1/29). There will be 22 in class quizzes. You quizzes grade will be based on the best 18. Missed quizzes will receive 0%. Homework assignments: There will be 22 assignments throughout the semester in the Mastering A&P software. Your grade will be based on your best 18 scores. Missed assignment will receive 0%. Midterm exams: Midterms will be multiple choice exams administered in class on the date listed in the lecture schedule. Midterms will be scored by scantron. Final exam: The final will be a multiple choice exam, scored by scantron. All exams will be closed book, closed notes. No electronic devices will be necessary or allowed during exams. Although most information to be tested is contained in the book, we present information in lectures that is not contained in the book, and there is often detail in the text that we will not test. Attending lectures allows you to judge how we will weight topics covered in the text, to learn material not covered in the text, and to interact with your classmates and us. To prepare, please read the relevant chapters before class. DSP students: please contact head GSI Chi-An Emhoff (cwang7@berkeley.edu) at least 2 weeks before the first midterm, so that we can plan the necessary accommodations.

Absence from exams: If you cannot attend an exam due to illness or other circumstances beyond your control, you must contact one of the instructors and explain the circumstances before the exam. You will need to provide documentation of the circumstances (in the case of illness, a doctors note specifying why you could not attend the exam). There will be no makeup examinations, but we will consider the possibility of alternative assessment under justified and documented circumstances. Honor Code: You will be asked to sign an Honor Code statement at each exam, stating that you will not give or receive aid in the examination. We will manifest our confidence in you by refraining proctoring examinations or taking unusual precautions to prevent cheating. The penalty for violating the Honor Code will be failing the course. A complete statement of our Honor Code is available under Resources on the course bspace site. Letter grades: If your final course score is: Your final letter grade will be: 95% A+ 90% A 87% A- 83% B+ 80% B 77% B- 73% C+ 70% C 67% C- 63% D+ 60% D Labs: IB 132L, the laboratory course corresponding to IB 132, is synchronized with the lecture class, and is best taken concurrently. However, lab enrollment is severely constrained by space, equipment and GSI time, so only 176 lab seats are available each Spring. If you have a lab seat, please make use of it or drop the lab early, so that another student has the opportunity. Transfers between sections will not be allowed. Lab grades are determined by work in the lab, and are independent of the lecture class grade. Key physiological priorities: Core body temperature: 37 C PO2 (arterial blood): 75-100 mm Hg (10.0-13.3 kPa) PCO2 (arterial blood): 34-35 mm Hg (4.7-6.0 kPa) [glucose] (fasting plasma): 70-110 mg/dL (3.9-6.0 mmol/L) Osmolarity (serum): 280-296 mosmol/kg water (280-296 mmol/kg) Serum [K+]: 3.5-5.0 meq/L (3.5-5.0 mmol/L) Serum [Na+]: 135-145 meq/L (135-145 mmol/L) Serum [Cl-]: 100-108 meq/L (100-108 mmol/L) pH (arterial blood): 7.35-7.45
