Department of Physiology - The University of Arizona

The laboratory section of this course is designed to supplement the material presented in lecture. Ideally, all material discussed in lab will have already been presented in lecture; however, there will be cases in which a topic will first be addressed in the laboratory, and then reviewed or elaborated upon in lecture. It is essential that the student attends BOTH lab and lecture to ensure successful performance in the course.
