Pessoa, Pamella Teles; Palanch, Adrianne Christine; Casale, Karina Reche; Montrezor, Luís Henrique; Taxini, Camila Linhares; Azevedo, Maria Antonia; Marcondes, Fernanda Klein – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
In health courses, the students must be familiar with the effects of intravenous solutions on cell volume and function, a topic where there can be learning difficulties and misunderstandings. Since educational games can assist in understanding complex concepts, we created a game relating solution osmolarity and tonicity to red blood cell volume…

Ngo, Han G.; Dandu, Chaitu; Gibney, Brianna L.; Kuang, Serena Y. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The Nernst equation is key to understanding the electrophysiology of the cell membrane and the pathophysiology of K[superscript +] imbalances (i.e., hyperkalemia and hypokalemia). However, in our experience teaching medical students over the years, many students struggle to make connections between a brief introduction of the Nernst equation and…

Hopper, Amy J.; Beswick-Jones, Hana; Brown, Angus M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The five papers published by Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952 are seminal works in the field of physiology, earning their authors the Nobel Prize in 1963 and ushering in the era of membrane biophysics. The papers present a considerable challenge to the novice student, but this has been partly allayed by recent publications that have updated the…

Powell, Carolyn L.; Brown, Angus M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The ability to understand the relationship between the reversal potential and the membrane potential is a fundamental skill that must be mastered by students studying membrane excitability. To clarify this relationship, we have reframed a classic experiment carried out by Hodgkin and Katz, where we compare graphically the membrane potential at…

Michael, Joel; Modell, Harold – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
We have created and validated a conceptual framework for the core physiology concept of "cell membrane." The conceptual framework is composed of 27 items arranged in a hierarchy that is, in some instances, four levels deep. We have validated it with input from faculty who teach at a wide variety of institutional types. All items making…

Jarrett, Kevin; Williams, Mary; Horn, Spencer; Radford, David; Wyss, J. Michael – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
"Sickle cell anemia: tracking down a mutation" is a full-day, inquiry-based, biology experience for high school students enrolled in genetics or advanced biology courses. In the experience, students use restriction endonuclease digestion, cellulose acetate gel electrophoresis, and microscopy to discover which of three putative patients…

Dirks-Naylor, Amie J. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
Renal transport is a central mechanism underlying electrolyte homeostasis, acid base balance and other essential functions of the kidneys in human physiology. Thus, knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nephron is essential for the understanding of kidney function in health and disease. However, students find this content difficult to…
