INTRODUCTION TO PHYSIOLOGY AND HOMEOSTATIS PHYSIOLOGY 1.1 Intro to Physiology Physiology: the study of the functions of living things, how the human body works Two approaches explain the events that occur in body -purpose of the body process - mechanism in which the process occurs Physiologists view the body as a machine whose mechanisms of action can explained in terms of cause and effect sequences of physical and chemical processes. Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the

Physiology is the study of normal functioning in organisms and their parts. Four main themes structure this field of study. These themes include how structure and function relate, the need for energy, body functions, and homeostasis. The structure of the body is made up of different levels of organization, ranging from atoms to organ systems. Each level of organization has different functions that are essential for the performance of organisms. For example, molecules, or a group of atoms, work

How we came to know what we know now about anatomy and physiology has always been a great curiosity of anyone interested in the medical field. Knowing the history can lead to even more discoveries in the future. When you think of anatomy you imagine something like this picture below. But here is where it all began…. The beginning of anatomy and physiology, ironically, began with a curiosity in biology. The first man to create an important contribution to biology was Alcmaeon, in the 5th century

Pate and Durstine (2004) define exercise physiology as the study of physical activity and the effect it has on the body, including its tissues and cells, over brief or extended periods of time. Over the years this discipline has made contributions to human health and has lead to athletic success through maximizing human potential. Clinical sports medicine has been greatly impacted by exercise physiology for a number of reasons, but most importantly has made improvements in enhancing athletic performance

1. Identify a related pair of medical, anatomical, or physiology terms that has given you difficulty. The anatomical terms that have always given me problems are the name of the parts of the bone in legs and arms: diaphysis, epiphysis, and metaphysis. 2. Explain the system you use to distinguish them in your mind. Include references to any texts or tools used. Since I noticed that I have to go back to my references to be able to identify the parts of the bone, I created a “formula.” I used

Anatomy and Physiology is the study of the human body. Anatomy is the study of the internal and external structure of body parts. Physiology is the study of the function of those body parts. In an anatomy and physiology course you will examine the body parts and the way that these body parts function together to keep us alive. The definition of homeostasis is the means or ability to keep the body stable in order to compensate for environmental changes. A really good example of homeostasis is the

1) Define anatomy and physiology and describe their subdivisions. - Anatomy studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. Body structures can be seen, felt, and examined closely. - Gross, or macroscopic, anatomy: Study of large body structures visible to the naked eye, such as the heart, lungs and kidneys. - Regional anatomy, all the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as the abdomen or leg, are examined

Distinguish between anatomy and physiology Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape for the body and its parts and their relationship to one another. Anatomy is most commonly related to gross anatomical studies because in these studies preserved animals and their organs are dissected and examined. And microscopic anatomy is the study of body structures that can only be seen through a microscope. Physiology is the study of how the body and its parts work or function. Physiology is similar to anatomy
