Study Notes

HBM1202 Anatomy & Physiology 2 Laboratory Manual 2024

  • This manual provides a guide for laboratory sessions in Anatomy and Physiology 2 for 2024.
  • Lab coats are required for all laboratory sessions.
  • Read the manual before each laboratory class.
  • Related risk assessments, lab videos, and online worksheets are available on VU Collaborate.
  • Complete post-lab worksheets by accessing VU Collaborate > Assessments > Quizzes after the second lab session of each week.
  • A list of laboratories covers topics for each week.

List of Laboratories

  • Week 1, Lab 1: Endocrine System and Homeostasis
  • Week 1, Lab 2: Bones, Joints and Muscles
  • Week 2, Lab 1: Special Senses
  • Week 2, Lab 2: Urinary System
  • Week 3, Lab 1: Acids, Bases and Buffers
  • Week 3, Lab 2: Digestion and Metabolism

Practical 1: Endocrine System and Homeostasis

  • Past experience indicates a small group of students may experience emotional distress during finger pricking.
  • Only one student per lab class should perform the finger prick demonstration.
  • Homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium, maintaining a stable internal environment.
  • The endocrine system uses chemical signals (hormones) to regulate bodily functions including growth, metabolism, reproduction and homeostasis.
  • Endocrine glands directly secrete hormones into the bloodstream.
  • Exocrine glands release hormones into ducts.
  • The endocrine system works with the nervous system to regulate all bodily functions.
  • Objective: demonstrate and explain how the endocrine system functions to regulate blood glucose homeostasis.
  • Glucose regulation, the process of maintaining normal blood glucose levels, is a homeostatic mechanism.
  • Normal blood glucose levels range between 3-7 mmol/L.
  • Glucose monitoring techniques, such as Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), asses blood glucose levels after glucose ingestion.

Important Safety Considerations

  • Exercise caution when handling human materials in the lab.
  • Only one student per bench performs the blood glucose test.
  • Avoid the activity if pre-existing conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular issues are present.
  • Wear gloves whenever handling samples.
  • Report any spillages immediately.

Procedure for Glucose Regulation

  • Wash hands with antiseptic soap.
  • Warm and prepare finger for blood collection.
  • Use a sterile lancet to collect a drop of blood.
  • Use a gloucometer to record blood sugar levels.
  • Drink a 50g glucose solution.
  • Repeat blood glucose measurement at 20-minute intervals for 90 minutes.
  • Record results on the white board.
  • Graphically present individual and average class data.

Questions for Glucose Regulation

  • Explain the two stimuli that cause blood glucose levels to rise or fall.
  • Discuss the process that occurs when blood glucose levels increase.
  • Describe the effect of insulin.
  • Explain the function of glucagon.
  • What is the normal level of glucose in the blood, and why is it considered a "set point"?

Practical 2: Bones, Joints, and Muscles

  • Bones, cartilage, joints, ligaments, and muscles form the musculoskeletal system, responsible for support, movement, and protection.
  • Identify and explain the different anatomical regions of the body using models and diagrams.
  • Learn the anatomical terms for different directions, such as superior, inferior, anterior, posterior etc

Practical 3: Special Senses

  • The eye consists of a lens system to focus light and a light-sensitive surface (the retina), which converts the image into nerve impulses to be transmitted to the brain.
  • Receptors detect and convert external stimuli into nerve signals interpreted by the brain.
  • Understanding the anatomy and function of the eye and ear can help assess how sensory systems are linked to the brain, allowing for appropriate response to external stimuli.

Practical 4: The Urinary System

  • The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and associated blood vessels.
  • Its major functions include eliminating metabolic wastes (like urea), regulating fluid and electrolyte balance (including sodium and potassium), and producing hormones to promote red blood cell development.
  • The kidneys filter blood and produce urine, and other organs transport and store the urine before excretion.
  • The urinary system is important for maintaining homeostasis by controlling the composition of bodily fluids.
  • Lab safety and care should be taken, including avoiding consumption (eating or drinking) for an hour prior to the lab
  • Wear gloves when handling urine samples.
  • Dispose of urine waste appropriately in designated receptacles.

Practical 5: Acids, Bases, and Buffers

  • Acids release hydrogen ions, while bases accept them.
  • Buffers help maintain stable pH levels despite the addition of acid or base.
  • The carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system is vital in maintaining blood pH.
  • Indicators change color depending on the pH level.

Practical 6: Digestion and Metabolism

  • The digestive system breaks down food for absorption.
  • Digestive enzymes are part of these processes.
  • Extracellular and intracellular enzymes are involved.
  • Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are essential for energy and cell function.
  • Carbohydrates can be identified by the Benedict's test, utilizing reducing sugars that contain aldehyde or ketone groups.

Practical 7,8, and other labs in the module;

  • These modules focus on the structure and function of various body systems
  • They include techniques for investigating body functions and procedures like dissection.
