3.0 Introduction
3.1 Purpose
Physiology is the study of function and integration of cells, tissues and organ systems in the organism as a
whole to maintain an optimal internal environment (homeostasis) to support cell life. We will examine
individual organ systems and their coordinated activity within the total body system to maintain cellular
integrity. One aim of this course is to indicate some important interactions between organ systems,
especially those which may be of significance to the specialized health professional. We consider this of
importance since the human patient is a highly integrated organism such that a disturbance of sufficient
magnitude in a particular organ can be expected to produce alterations in all other organ systems. Our
objective is to help you acquire an understanding of and an appreciation for organ function and control which
will serve you in your clinical studies. We will try to demonstrate what a famous physiologist of the early
20th century once remarked, "The physiology of today is the medicine of tomorrow."

3.2. Rationale
The dentist who is primarily concerned with treating oral diseases must also bear in mind that disturbance of
oral structure and function and/or stress associated with dental procedures may influence function in other
body systems. Periodontal inflammation may interact with the cardiovascular system, diabetes and with
pregnancy. Disturbance of function in other systems may markedly affect normal oral structure and function
(loss of calcium from teeth during pregnancy or disease as a manifestation of altered endocrine regulation of
calcium balance). Diabetes affects the process of periodontal infection. Drugs given by the dentist to control
pain or hemostasis may influence cardiac function or immune function. Chronic pathophysiology of certain
diseases and certain drugs may alter healing in the oral cavity. In this context it is important that you gain a
firm understanding of physiology and pathophysiology as you learn to treat the whole individual. Dentists
are an important part of the health care team and they are likely to see patients more regularly than a
physician. A strong foundation in human physiology will enable you to better evaluate overall patient health
and as a result become a better oral health care provider.

5.0. Educational Sessions (ALL LECTURES ARE IN Lecture Room A)
Doing well in Physiology will require concentrated effort on your part. You Must Become Involved In
Your Own Learning Process! The following tips will enhance your chances for success in this course:
1. A cursory understanding of the material is only the foundation from which to begin studying. Use the
questions in the textbook to help guide you to understanding the physiologic concept presented.
2. Facts are only memorized; understanding physiology requires integration and application of
concepts.
3. Read carefully the assigned and relevant readings in the text before class sessions.
4. Take notes during lectures. After the lecture, integrate your notes with the textbook (note tables and
figures) and other lecture material. Look at the material from different angles.
5. Form a study group and review this material by making one study partner “teach” the group.
6. Apply facts and concepts presented in the lecture to clinical scenarios presented in the textbook.

Lectures and Attendance: DENT 1115 Human Physiology, M (8AM-10AM) and WTh (10AM-NOON) in
Auditorium A, Dental School. Lectures support and supplement the textbook. The textbook is designed to
help you understand basic physiological concepts so you can apply them to dental care. We want you to
achieve a working knowledge of physiology, in addition to a memory bank of physiological facts.
ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY FOR ALL COURSES IN THE DENTAL PROGRAM AT LSU School
of Dentistry. The LSU School of Dentistry attendance policies for didactic, pre-clinical and clinical courses
are included in the LSUSD student handbook of policies and procedures.
Textbooks: Medical Physiology: A Systems Approach by Raff, Hershel, Ph.D., and Levitzky, Michael,
Ph.D. ISBN: 0071621733/9780071621731 Edition #1, 2011. MCGRAW-HILL PUBLISHING CO.
PowerPoint slides are NOT the textbook. You are responsible for the textbook material assigned.
Cell Phones: PLEASE! No Cell phone use during class! Silence your cell phones; put them on a book to
cushion the vibration should you receive a call. If you have an emergency call, take it into the hallway.
Please respect your colleagues by complying with this request. There will be times I will email you during
class with information I deem important to send you with regards to the lecture material being presented.
Those who have smart phones will be able to receive this without having to divert your computer to email.
Computers: Many of you will use computers to take notes, primarily because this is your preferred way of
taking notes. Some of you will also use your computer to surf the internet, email and answer email during
class. If you MUST surf the web, email, or study other material, PLEASE do it outside the classroom! It is
distracting to us and to your fellow classmates who are trying to focus on class.
Tutoring: Should you need private tutoring, contact me for a reference, or the Physiology Graduate Students
to see if they are available.
ACADEMIC HONESTY: Students must demonstrate the highest standards of character and integrity, which
warrant the public confidence and trust bestowed on them as health professionals. Among the elements of
professionalism, each student must adhere to the following specific standards:
1. Each student must exhibit professional courtesy towards faculty, supporting staff, fellow students
and patients.
2. Each student must maintain up-to-date, accurate and complete records regarding treatment
performed on patients and patient fees.
3. No student shall deviate from treatment plans unless the deviation is authorized and documented in
writing by the appropriate faculty.
4. No student shall jeopardize the well being of a patient under any circumstances.
The Academic Performance Advancement Committee may deny a student permission to continue in the
educational program should the student fail to demonstrate PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.
Examinations: The department head (or course director with approval of the department head) has the option
to re-examine any student at any time or to give the student any additional test or tests other than those
regularly scheduled, with the objective of arriving at a more accurate evaluation of the student's academic
performance. Examination materials will be retained by the course director or the department until after
registration for the next academic year unless a grade appeal has been filed.

Spring 2016
Exam Schedule: Four unit examinations and a comprehensive final will be given during the course.
Examination schedules are listed at the back of this syllabus. The exams will be given by computer at the
scheduled time in Auditorium A. You will need your personal computer, with the respondus lockdown
feature installed, and any necessary Ethernet wires for connection to the server. When you officially start the
exam, you will have exactly 2 hr to complete the exam. We will not answer content questions during the
exam. If you need to have a question on the exam clarified, ask during the exam.
NO CELL PHONES (OR OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES) ARE PERMITTED DURING THE
EXAM! Leave them in your book bag, turned OFF! If you expect emergency calls during the exam,
silence your cell phone, leave it with the proctor so we can notify you should you receive a call.
Protocol for Attire and Personal Material: Caps and other headgear MAY NOT be worn during the exam.
Place all books, backpacks, purses, cell phones, ipods, in the front, back, or sides of Auditorium A. ONLY
basic function calculators are permitted!! Your computer should have that basic calculator.
Exam Format: Examinations will be multiple-choice format. The questions will emphasize understanding
of physiologic principles. Most questions will be developed from a clinical scenario asking you to use
understanding of fundamental concepts studied in class to answer the question.
Arrival for Exam: Exams are limited to exactly 2 hours, and will start immediately when you log on to
MOODLE. You will be assigned seating for the exam. Should you arrive late for the exam, your exam will
end at the same time as that for the other students. Should you arrive one-half hour after the exam starts, you
will have missed the exam, and will have to make arrangements to take a make-up exam.
Missing an Exam: Students must have a legitimate excuse for missing an examination. Please inform the
Course Director before the exam of your inability to make the exam. If a student misses an examination, has
a written legitimate medical excuse, or has informed the coordinator before the exam has been given, then
the student will be offered a make-up exam. Students must submit appropriate documentation to the course
director upon return to class. Students with a valid excuse must take a “make-up” exam (an oral exam or an
essay exam) within one week of returning to school. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule this makeup exam! Failure to take the exam or the make-up exam results in a “0” for that exam.
Exam Scores and Exam Reviews: Exams are scored immediately on MOODLE, but you will not be able to
review the exam. Exams will be reviewed the next class session following the exam. Exam reviews are just
that, a review, not a class session.
6.0 Evaluation
No requirement for Professional Conduct is specified. As stated in the LSUHSC Catalog/Bulletin and
included in the LSUSD Student Handbook of Policies and Procedures, students must demonstrate the highest
standards of character and integrity, which warrant the public confidence and trust bestowed on them as
health professionals. The specific standards of Professional Conduct are stipulated in the above mentioned
documents. Should a Patient Care Coordinator, the Director of Student Affairs or any member of the faculty
find a student in noncompliance with the specified Standards of Professional Conduct, he/she must complete
a NONCOMPLIANCE REPORT FORM and forward the appropriate copies to the student and the Office of
Academic Affairs. The report will be forwarded to the appropriate Academic Performance Advancement
Committee (APAC).

Spring 2016
Students are expected to attend all scheduled course sessions and take all exams. Failure to take an exam will
result in a ‘zero’ for that exam. Make-up exams will be either oral and/or essay type questions at the
discretion of the instructor(s).
Exam scores will not be ‘curved.’ Exam questions are multiple choice in makeup. These are designed
to be graded by computer. Exams are graded as % Score: [Correct/Total X 100]. Each exam question is
analyzed by a statistical program, and both Drs. Shepherd and Gilpin scrutinize each answer before we
release the grades on Moodle. We recognize you may have a ‘bad hair day’ and do poorly on one unit
exam. If your Final Comprehensive Exam #5 score is higher than any one score on unit Exams 1-4, then
the final exam score will substitute for that lowest score, as well as, be counted for the Exam #5 score.
The Final Exam is Comprehensive, and will consist of 100 questions. It will count 200 points. We use
this comprehensive final as preparation for your NBDE licensing exam you will be taking in June. We
will be asking questions we have been able to glean from old NBDE exams that are directly relevant to
what we have presented during this semester in this course. We will also rewrite questions used from
previous exams from this semester to complete the exam to 100 questions, rather than the normal 60-65
questions per exam (the time for the final exam will be extended to three hours).
Final grades are based on 90% (A), 80% (B), 70% (C), and ≤ 69% (F) of the TOTAL grade points
score (600 total points possible) compiled from the scores on the four unit exams and the comprehensive
final. NOTE: The comprehensive final exam will be worth 200 points. Scores are absolute. A final score of
539 is a “B,” and a score of 540 is an “A.”

The faculty makes every effort to assure that individual questions are clearly written and has only one correct
answer. Questions are analyzed by computer to determine ambiguity. The Course Director will confer with
the faculty that prepared the exam and decide whether a given question is proper or should be dropped from
the exam. If the decision is to drop a question, each student will receive credit for that question. The
exception to this would be those students who answered the “keyed” correct answer to the question!!!
Logistically they have already received credit for the question!! Following the return of exam grades,
students will have one (l) week to discuss with the Course Director any grade inaccuracies. After this time
grades become final and indisputable. During the exam, no questions, except questions pertaining to
misspelling, will be accepted by faculty members.
