    Study Notes

    Assessment Overview

    • Short answer questions enhance critical thinking skills.
    • Tests structure:
      • Test 1: 10 points
      • Test 2: 15 points
      • Test 3: 15 points
      • Assignments: 20 points
      • Final Exam: 40 points
    • Assignments occur randomly; not pre-scheduled.

    Course and Lab Information

    • PAR 3621 focuses on engaging with Medical Physiology I and II material.
    • Introduction of Labster, a virtual physiology lab simulation for 2024.
    • Labster includes performing virtual experiments tied to PAR3623 theory.
    • Each lab assignment has a scheduled completion date; grades assigned as Pass or Fail.

    Lecture 1 Objectives

    • Integration of physiology and body function showcases structure-function complementarity.
    • Essential life functions are outlined.
    • Basic human body organization is described.

    Body Fluids and Compartments

    • Body comprises 40% solids and 60% fluids.
    • Compartments are separable by semipermeable epithelial membranes, enabling fluid transport.
    • Intracellular fluid (ICF) constitutes 2/3 of body fluid; extracellular fluid (ECF) constitutes 1/3.

    Key Constituents of Extracellular Fluid (ECF)

    • Normal and approximate limits for various constituents, including:
      • Oxygen: Normal value 40 mm Hg (range 25-40).
      • Carbon dioxide: Normal value 45 mm Hg (range 41-51).
      • Sodium: Normal value 142 mmol/L (range 135-145).
      • Potassium: Normal value 4.2 mmol/L (range 3.5-5.3).
      • Calcium: Normal value 1.2 mmol/L (range 1.0-1.4).
    • Glucose normal level: 90 mg/dl (range 70-115).
    • Body temperature normal value: 98.4°F (37.0°C).

    Homeostatic Regulation

    • Homeostatic control maintains a range around a set point, similar to a thermostat.
    • Normal physiological values fluctuate within a controlled range.
    • Homeostasis maintained through antagonistic controls, such as temperature regulation via heat production and dissipation.

    Homeostatic Imbalance

    • Disturbances in homeostasis increase disease risks and impact aging.
    • Inefficient negative feedback mechanisms can lead to destructive positive feedback, exemplified in heart failure.

    Body Cavities

    • Body contains closed internal cavities that protect organs.
    • Two main body cavity sets:
      • Dorsal body cavity: Contains the cranial cavity (brain) and vertebral cavity (spinal cord).
      • Ventral body cavity: Houses internal organs (viscera), divided into thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.

    Ventral and Dorsal Body Cavities

    • Ventral cavity subdivisions include:
      • Thoracic cavity: Contains heart and lungs.
      • Abdominal cavity: Houses digestive viscera.
      • Pelvic cavity: Contains urinary bladder and reproductive organs.
    • Cavities named after associated organs and cavities (e.g., pericardium for the heart).

    Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions

    • The abdominopelvic region is divided into four quadrants for medical assessment:
      • Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
      • Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
      • Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
      • Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
