ORGANIZERS Luciane H. Gargaglioni (FCAV-­‐UNESP-­‐Jaboticabal) [email protected] Kênia C. Bícego (FCAV-­‐UNESP-­‐Jaboticabal) [email protected] Cleo Alcântara Leite (UFSCAR) [email protected] Description This course is designed to provide a comprehensive and integrative understanding of the essential principals in comparative animal physiology of respiration. Students will be introduced to the fundamental aspects of respiratory function in several animals’ models, including vertebrates and invertebrates, under the light of regulatory mechanisms and evolution of different breathing modes. Most lectures will be based on current research by the professors, and the practical activities have been designed to provide inspiration for novel studies in the field of comparative respiratory physiology. At the end of each day, 2 hours for PBL (problem based learning) will be proposed for the students to apply the knowledge of practical and theoretical class. After the first week of the course, the students will have three days to develop projects based on the knowledge they have acquired in class.

Practical Class
6 groups for practicals in rotation
Practical 1 Pletysmograph and stereotaxic manipulation (rats will be implanted with a icv guide cannula for injection of drugs and then ventilation and blood gases measurements during hypoxia and hypercapnia will be performed during the class)
Practical 2 Pneumotachography and blood gases for acid-­‐ acid-­‐base balance in hypoxia and hypercapnia in different temperatures in toad or turtle
Practical 3 Pespirometry and pletysmograph (VO2 and VE in different temperatures and hypoxia in neonates; air convection requirement)
Practical 4 In vitro brain stem preparation in tadpoles
Practical 5 Pulmonary mechanics in rat, turtle, frog, lizard
Practical 6 Cardiorespiratory interaction (ECG + VE), respiratory sinus arrhythmia
