Study Notes
History of Physiology
- Physiology investigates the functions of living organisms
- Hippocrates contributed to the foundation of human physiology
- Galen contributed to the development of anatomical and physiological knowledge
- Leonardo da Vinci contributed to the development of anatomical drawings
- Andreas Vesalius contributed to the development of anatomical descriptions and illustrations
- William Harvey discovered blood circulation
- The 19th century saw significant advancements in the study of bio-potentials, the law of irritation, and the reflex activity of the nervous system
- I. P. Pavlov received the Nobel Prize in 1904 for his work on the physiology of digestion
- Pavlov's pupils and Sechenov's pupils contributed to the development of physiology in Russia in the 20th century
Principles of Physiology
- Unity of the body and the environment: Living organisms are constantly exchanging information, energy, and substances with their environment
- Principle of determinism: All physiological phenomena are determined by a variety of causes and conditions
Physiological Function
- The functional activity of an organism, which ensures its existence and adaptation
- The basis of all life, including growth and differentiation
- Essential for maintaining homeostasis
Cells and Their Functions
- Cells are the smallest independent unit of life
- Cells are capable of self-reproduction, metabolism, irritability, adaptation, and variability
- There are four types of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
