PHYSIOLOGY Interesting, lucid lectures by Dr. Bohr — learning the ultrastructure of oscilliscopes, and then being able to repair them — action potentials — high Na+ outside — high K+ inside — watching impulses zip right along the axon — everywhere frogs, on the table, hopping down the halls — Why are the other lab groups ' results ap- pearing on our screen? — resistance, voltage, current — repeal Ohm ' s law — hyperpolarizing — hypopolarizing — equilibrium potential — what ' s a Nerst? If you eat 200 gm. of fats and add some lipase, then multiply by four you gain how much weight? Or should I use the Goldman equation here? It all adds up to Physiology.

Stuart Narrod, Ph.D. BIOCHEMISTRY Long afternoons spent doing experiments that some- times work — watching the sun set over City Line Ave- nue — our teachers tried to make the course interesting (how interesting can Henderson-Hasselbach be?) — learning metabolic pathways inside out, backwards and forwards — how to make a protein; how to break a protein — lipids, lipids everywhere — all the way with RNA — we treat sick E. coli — ATP is the source of all — how to synthesize non-essential amino acids in 10 easy lectures. No resemblance between the exam ques- tions and the lecture material — most everyone flunks the mid-term — these are general things we remember from biochemistry. And last, but not least, don ' t forget to use Harper for the Boards! S. Rosenthal, Ph.D. D. Hsu, Ph.D. A. Berg, Ph.D. R.Scorpio, Ph.D. F. Covato, G.S. Studying for Biochem.
