Study Notes
Introduction to Physiology
- Physiology is the study of the functions and processes that occur within living organisms.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment.
Cell Structure and Function
- The cell membrane is a thin layer of lipid and protein molecules that surrounds the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out.
- The cell membrane performs several functions, including regulating the movement of materials, protecting the cell, and maintaining the cell's shape.
Cell Components
- The gel-like material within the cell membrane is called cytoplasm.
Levels of Organization
- Multicellular organisms are composed of two or more cells that work together to form a functional organism.
- Examples of multicellular organisms include animals, plants, and fungi.
