Lecture 15 (08/28/2006 Monday)
Someone asked me how long it takes to create one of these entries… so, let me just write down it’s 11:03 PM EST now. Today is the longest day thus far. Started at 9:30 am, and after an hour lunch break, we ended just short of 3 PM EST. Even though it’s long, most of the material today were pretty basic.
BioChem
- Dr. Phillip Stone
- Lecture Notes (Refer to PPT)
- Topic: Sickle Cell, Bohr’s, Thalassemia, acidosis, partial pressure of oxygen, hemogoblin, myoglobin, review of previous lecture
Summary: Only 50 minute lecture today. We talked only a bit more about sickle cell, then thalassemia, then went into review. Thalassemia is where only beta-chain is produced instead of mix of alpha and beta Hb. Thus, there’s no interaction between the dimers and oxygen is bound more tightly (or not as well). Then, we spent rest of the class reviewing.
Physiology
- Dr. Levy
- Lecture Notes
- Topic: Action Potential, Sodium and Potassium Voltage Gate, Leakage channel, Refractory Period (Absolute and Relative), Conduction Velocity, AP Propagation, Myelin Sheath
Summary: We started off with a brief review (I think…), then was lead into refractory period of absolute versus relative. Then, we talked about how we proved that voltage potential going up and down is due to the influx or outflux of sodium and potassium. We ended with drawing of what the ion gate of each looks like, and then conduction velocity.
Introduction to Dental Practice
- Dr. Loadholt
- Lecture Notes (Refer to PPT)
- Topic: Infection Control, Autoclaves + bunnies with curry powder, Transmission, Disinfectants, Sterilization
Summary: Er, it’s infection control, and the power point slides will have EVERYTHING talked about. So, just read the power point slides, since it all seem so darn important.
11:23 pm EST ~ so 20 minutes.
