food specific dynamic effect 5. Basal metabolism rate: concept and clinical significance Part 2 Body temperature 1. Concept of body temperature: shell temperature and core temperature; normal value of body temperature, normal variation of body temperature 2. Heat generation and dissipation of the body 1)Generation: organs. muscles, shivering 2)disspation: irradiation, conduction and convection; evaporation and its significance; sweating 3. Regulation of body temperature: voluntary and autonomic thermoregulation 4. Autonomic thermoregulation: peripheral and central temperature receptor, thermotaxis center: its position and the set-point hypothesis Chapter 8 Excretory function of the kidney Purpose and requirement 1. To understand the important of the kidney in maintaining homeostasis of the and excretion function of the kidney 2. To master the processes of urine formation and factors influencing urine formation regulation of urine formation. Teaching contents 1 Introduction: master concept and way of excretion, importance of renal excretion, structural characteristics of kidney: nephron and collection ducts, cortical nephron and juxtamedullary nephron, characteristics of renal blood circulation. -understand genera functions of kidney including urine formation and production of some biological active substance, juxtaglomerular apparatus 2. Function of Glomerular Filtration: master glomerular membrane and its permeabilityfood specific dynamic effect 5. Basal metabolism rate: concept and clinical significance Part 2 Body temperature 1.
