| Description:
| Aims:
To build upon basic skills acquired in PA20291 and familiarise the student with a broader range of pharmacological assays; to investigate the principles of measurement required in experimental pharmacology;
to further develop the skills required for analysing and reporting scientific information in written reports.
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
* Perform appropriate dilutions of drug solutions.
* Set up simple tissues for measurement of physiological responses.
* Carry out standard pharmacological assays.
* Analyse continuous and quantal data.
* Report data in scientific journal style.
Skills:
Study skills, planning and organisation (T/F)
Working with others (T/F)
Practical skills (T/F/A)
Scientific report writing skills (T/F/A).
Content:
The topics in this unit include basic experimental techniques and recording equipment; molarities; dose-response curves using in vitro preparations; behavioural observations.
