Study Notes

Physiology Subdivisions

  • Subdivisions of physiology include cellular physiology, organ physiology, and system physiology. Notably, one specific category is NOT a subdivision.

Goal of Physiology

  • The primary goal of physiology is to understand the functions and mechanisms that sustain life in organisms.

Human Physiology Characteristics

  • Human physiology studies characteristics like homeostasis, metabolism, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. It examines how these processes contribute to overall health and performance.

Human as an Automaton

  • Humans are compared to automatons due to the complex and automatic nature of physiological processes that operate without conscious control, similar to machine functions.

Forces Driving Human Fellowship

  • Fundamental forces that drive individuals to seek fellowship include social instincts, emotional connections, and the need for cooperation and community for survival.

Complex Control Systems

  • The intricate control systems in the human body result in coordinated responses to environmental changes, enabling adaptability, resilience, and maintaining homeostasis.

Goal of Viral Physiology

  • The aim of viral physiology is to understand the biological mechanisms viruses employ to replicate and interact with host organisms, influencing health and disease.

Functional Characteristics of Life

  • Each life type exhibits specific functional characteristics like metabolism, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation which are crucial for survival.

Attributes of Living Beings

  • Humans are classified as living beings due to their ability to grow, reproduce, respond to environmental changes, and maintain homeostasis, all of which are hallmarks of life.
