5. Course Objective(s)

1. To strengthening the basic concepts of renal physiology, endocrinology, reproductive physiology and

digestive physiology in animals.

2. To learn how to apply these physiological basic concepts to solve the problems relevant to these concepts.

6. Course Description

Applied physiology of the renal system including balances of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base in animal body,

endocrine system, reproductive system and gastrointestinal system, with emphasis on the relation of regulatory

control function and function disorders.

7. Course Outline

1. Renal Physiology :

a. The control of volume and composition of body fluids

b. Regulation of glomerular filtration

c. Fluid and electrolyte balance; calcium, phosphate and magnesium metabolism

d. Acid-Base homeostasis and disorders

2. End~~~ lno logy

a. Current update on regulation of hormone action: Hypothalamo-pituitary axis concept

b. Gut hormones, growth factors and fatty acid derived hormones

c. Genomic and non-genomic action of steroid hormones; intracellular receptor vs plasma membrane

receptor

d. Synthesis, storage and secretion of peptide hormones and their actions

3. Reproductive Physiology

a. Neuroendocrine mechanisms in maturation and reproductive cycles

b. Mammalian gametogenesis and fertilization

c. Review of current research literature on reproduction in domestic animals

4. Digestive Physiology

a. Neural and hormonal regulation of gastrointestinal motility and secretion; digestion and absorption

of feed

b. Essentials of feed fermentation by gut flora: comparative aspects

c. Essentials of liver function

d. immunological function of GI tract

8. Student-centered Teaching Method(s)

The teaching methods of this course are including lecture, co-operative learning, discussion, presentation

and homework.
