Firstly, the major organ systems of the body are discussed, including the nervous system, muscle, cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal systems. Secondly, lectures which cover the specialized areas of physiology related to the oral cavity are interspersed throughout the course. 3.2 Rationale These lectures are important to dental health professionals since the human patient is also a highly integrated biological organism. A disturbance in a particular organ of sufficient magnitude can be expected to produce alterations in other organ systems. Members of the dental health team, who are primarily concerned with treating oral diseases, must be aware that disturbances of oral structure and function, or stress associated with dental procedures, may influence function in other body systems. Similarly, the oral cavity can also be affected by disturbances in other organ systems of the body (for example, endocrine malfunctions can affect calcium metabolism and cause loss of calcium from the teeth). In this context, it is important that dental hygiene students have a basic understanding of physiology. 4.0 Competencies/Educational Objectives 4.1 Competencies (CODA 2-22) Professionalism Domain 1.022 Solve problems and make decisions based on accepted scientific principles.

The dental hygiene curriculum includes this course in physiology which is taught at the undergraduate level. It provides knowledge and background information for the practice of dental hygiene. (W) 4.2 Educational Objectives The following instructional objectives, broken down by topic, provide an initial overview as to what is expected. Additional specific objectives will be made available to the student throughout the course. 4.2.1 Electrophysiology: To understand membrane potentials, graded potentials, and action potentials. 4.2.2 Neurophysiology: To understand synaptic transmission, sensory receptors, and reflex function. 4.2.3 Muscle Physiology: To understand the microscopic and molecular structure of muscle fibers, the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, the neuromuscular junction, isotonic versus isometric contraction, twitch contractions incomplete tetanus, and complete tetanus. 4.2.4 Endocrine Physiology: To understand endocrine glands and the hormones they secrete, hormone actions on target cells, interactions between the nervous system and endocrine system, and negative feedback control of hormone secretion. 4.2.5 Autonomic Nervous System: To understand the basic organization and subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system, neurotransmitters utilized by autonomic fibers, and functions related to the heart, circulation, digestive, and other processes. 4.2.6 Cardiac Physiology: To understand the structure of cardiac muscle, electrical activity of the heart, the electrocardiogram (ECG), normal and abnormal variations in the heart beat, normal cardiac physiology, and problems associated with treating patients with cardiac problems. 4.2.7 Vascular Flow: To understand the physical and physiological factors involved in controlling arterial and venous circulation, capillary dynamics, the role of lymphatic vessels, and the physiological controls of blood pressure and blood flow. 4.2.8 Renal Physiology: To understand the distribution of fluids in the body within intracellular and extracellular compartments, the structure of the kidney, and the basic physiological processes of the individual nephrons of the kidney relating to fluid and electrolyte balance, and control of pH of the blood. 4.2.9 Respiratory Physiology: To understand the anatomy of the respiratory system, physical and physiological principles governing gas exchange in the alveoli and systemic capillaries, role of respiratory system in acid-base regulation, neural control of ventilation, and diseases associated with the respiratory system. 4.2.10 Gastrointestinal and Oral Physiology: To understand the ingestive processes of mastication, salivation, deglutition, to understand the functions of the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and various endocrine and exocrine glands which participate in digestion of food, and absorption of various molecules into the body. Detailed and informative lectures on vitamins and nutrition in relation to oral health are presented. 106726617 Page 3 5.0 Educational Sessions/Course Schedule for DHY 3202 for Spring 2012 School of Dentistry Room 3209 # Day/Date 01 Time (am) 9-9:50 Tues, Jan 10 02 10-10:50 03 9-9:50 Tues, Jan 17 04 05 10-10:50 Tues, Jan 24 06 07 9-9:50 10-10:50 Tues, Jan 31 9-10 Lecture Topic and Reading Assignment Homeostatic Mechanisms and Movement of Molecules Across Cell Membranes (10th pp 1-20; 107-132: 11th pp 1-17; 96-119: 12th 1-19; 95-117) Wound Healing (10th pp 701-733: 11th pp 646-675: 12th 632-661) Nerve Excitation (10th pp 151-175: 11th pp 137-159: 12th 135-156) Sensory Physiology (10th pp 176-191: 11th pp 192-206: 12th 186-227) Muscle Physiology (10th pp 279-321: 11th pp 254-295: 12th 250-291) Professor/Instructor Dr. Harrison-Bernard Dr. LeCapitaine Dr. Gilpin Dr. Gilpin Ms. Kurtz Autonomic Nervous System (10th pp 199-204: 11th pp 180-184: 12th 175-180) Ms. Kurtz EXAM I (6 Lectures) Dr. Harrison-Bernard 08 10-10:50 Cardiac Physiology (10th pp 388-414: 11th pp 360-384: 12th 353-377) Dr. Whitaker --- 8:50-9 Optional Exam I Answer Key Review Dr. Harrison-Bernard 09 Tues, Feb 07 10 9-9:50 10-10:50 11 9-9:50 Tues, Feb 14 12 --13 10-10:50 Tues, Feb 21 Tues, Feb 28 14 15 16 Tues, Mar 06 Cardiovascular Physiology (10th pp 414436: 11th pp 384-404: 12th 377-397) Cardiovascular Physiology (10th pp 437458: 11th pp 405-425: 12th 397-417) Cardiovascular Physiology & Blood (10th pp 459-476: 11th pp 425-441: 12th 417-433) Renal Physiology (10th pp 525-573: 11th pp 485-527: 12th 475-515) Dr. Whitaker Dr. Whitaker Dr. Whitaker Dr. LeCapitaine -------- Mardi Gras Holiday ----------------------------- 9-9:50 Renal Physiology (10th pp 525-573: 11th pp 485-527: 12th 475-515) Dr. LeCapitaine 10-10:50 Renal Physiology (10th pp 525-573: 11th pp 485-527: 12th 475-515) Dr. LeCapitaine EXAM II (7 Lectures) Dr. Harrison-Bernard Respiration (10th pp 477-523: 11th pp 442-484: 12th 434-474) Ms. Teng 9-10 10-10:50 106726617 Page 4 --17 Tues, Mar 13 18 --19 Tues, Mar 20 Tues, Mar 27 20 21 8:50-9 Optional Exam II Answer Key Review Dr. Harrison-Bernard 9-9:50 Respiration (10th pp 477-523: 11th pp 442-484: 12th 434-474) Ms. Teng 10-10:50 Respiration (10th pp 477-523: 11th pp 442-484: 12th 434-474) Ms. Teng -------- [Faculty Development] ----------------------------- 9-9:50 Endocrine Mechanisms (10th pp 343367: 11th pp 315-336: 12th 311-331) Dr. Souza-Smith 10-10:50 Endocrine Mechanisms (10th pp 367376: 11th 337-346: 12th 332-340) Dr. Souza-Smith EXAM III (5 Lectures) Dr. Harrison-Bernard 10-10:50 Calcium and Bone Physiology (10th pp 558-563 & 379-386: 11th pp 514 & 346352: 12th pp 503-504 & 340-352) Dr. Siggins 8:50-9 Optional Exam III Answer Key Review Dr. LeCapitaine 9-10 Tues, Apr 03 22 23 Tues, Apr 10 9-9:50 24 10-10:50 25 9-9:50 Tues, Apr 17 26 10-10:50 27 9-9:50 Tues, Apr 24 28 29 10-10:50 Tues, May 01 30 31 Wed, May 9 9-10 Metabolism and Energy Balance (10th pp 615-649: 11th pp 566-598: 12th pp 554-585) Physiology of Aging (10th p 694: 11th pp 639-640: 12th p 626) GI Physiology (10th pp 575-614: 11th pp 528-567: 12th 516-553) GI Physiology (10th pp 575-614: 11th pp 528-567: 12th 516-553) Oral Physiology (10th pp 578 & 590592: 11th pp 531 & 543-544: 12th pp 517 & 531-533) Oral Physiology (10th pp 578 & 590592: 11th pp 531 & 543-544: 12th pp 517 & 531-533) Dr. Primeaux Dr. Primeaux Mr. Doggett Mr. Doggett Dr. Siggins Dr. Siggins EXAM IV (7 Lectures) Dr. LeCapitaine 10-10:50 Optional Exam IV Answer Key Review Dr. LeCapitaine 1 – 3 pm FINAL EXAM Dr. Harrison-Bernard 32 106726617 Page 5 Optional Exam Reviews will be held at 8:50 am to discuss the answer key and to provide a review of difficult concepts for the majority of students. 6.0 Evaluation 6.1 Number of tests to be given: Five (5) tests will be given which includes a comprehensive final examination. 6.2 Types of tests given: The exams will be objective in nature, consisting of one or more of the following types of questions: multiple choice, true-false, and matching. 6.3 Other Evaluation Tools: No other evaluation tools will be used in determining the final grade. 6.4 Clinical evaluations: None 6.5 Weights of didactic tests: The final course grade is based on 500 possible points as follows: Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Exam 4 Final Exam 100 points 100 points 100 points 100 points 100 points Total points 500 points Grading Scale 100 - 90 A 89 - 80 B 79 - 70 C Below 70 failing Exams 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be sectional, covering new material only. The Final Exam will be comprehensive, covering material presented during the entire course. Students will have the option of substituting the Final Exam grade for one of the four sectional Exam grades, provided the student had no unexcused absences from class during the lectures covered by that sectional Exam. This is a remedial measure to provide each student with a second chance to learn material covered in a sectional exam, and to avoid scoring a poor final grade in the course because of one bad sectional Exam. Exam Reviews: Exam answer key reviews are open to those who want to attend. You are not permitted to copy, record, photograph or transmit any information during this review. Handouts of review material will not be provided by the instructors prior to the exams. Computer Use During Lectures: Computers may be used during lecture to view the PowerPoint slides and/or to take notes. Use of computers during lecture for purposes not related to General and Oral Physiology is strictly prohibited and will be enforced. There is a zero tolerance for cheating. Be sure that you are not suspected of cheating at any time during the examination or examination key review period. 106726617 Page 6 7.0 Attendance Attendance is mandatory for all courses in the dental, dental hygiene, and dental laboratory technology programs at LSU School of Dentistry.
