I think the sections I did were not difficult to grasp. - About 2 hours. 40583 Response to drugs. - - 2 hours. 40683 It has more advantage for self studying rather than reading books. It is good illustration.- - - I have been working for two hours. It was helpful and easy to receive information. Good illustration. 40791 To understand the set-up and theory behind the Guinea Pig Ileum experiment. Definitions - for example of agonists and antagonists. Also the experimental set-up. Some of the calculations relating to finding out concentration. 1 ½ hours. 40891 - Nothing Answering the questions at the end, I spent approximately 2 hours on the package. The package is a good way of revising and learning as all the information is there. 40991 Background knowledge for the work covering the module for this semester. Nothing was easy but labelling the tissues was not that difficult a lot of guessing was involved. Most of the package. 1 ½ hours spent working with package. Didn't find it useful at all would have rather had a lecture/tutorial covering the subject. However if print outs could be obtained from the computer this would be helpful. 41091 The Theory of Agonists, Antagonists and expt set up of Guinea Pig Ileum. Dose-Response Curves of agonists. Comparing dose-response curves. I spent two hours on this package. The package is easy to understand, and going through questions in the package made me understand the subject material more thoroughly. 41191 The effect of agonists on tissues. How and why they work. The overall idea that agonists effect tissues etc. Dose response curves - higher and lower affinities. Approximately 1 ½ hours. 41293 About the Agonists and Antagonist receptors, factors affecting their function. Definitions, curves. Nothing. An hour and half. 90 mins approx.
