Biology Tutorial I

Topics

• proposed courses. My plan is to provide some background on concepts of pharmacology, some common
• receptor systems (as most drug action is all about the receptor rather than the drug), and then some
• material on a variety of drug classes of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. I have
• included a couple of review sections on neurons, cardiac myocyte function and blood pressure
• second look at some overlapping material between the courses). For some units, there is also some
• content on disease processes that can be addressed with the meds from those units
• through screencasts and to have you do activities to help you make sense of the material and connect it
• now for any drugs that you would like to be included in the course that are not already there
• view of inferring drug properties based on their structure to better understand why they are able to be
• distributed through the body to create actions on receptors. Instead, my focus
