Study Notes
Physiology
- Physiology is the science of the function of living systems, including organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and bio-molecules.
- It involves the study of chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system.
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis refers to the mechanisms that maintain a constant internal environment.
- It is crucial for the normal functioning of cells, which lie in the internal environment.
Importance of Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is essential for maintaining normal functions of cells, including:
- Regulating body water
- Regulating body temperature
- Regulating arterial blood pressure
Objectives
- Define homeostasis and its importance to the living organism.
- Describe the feedback mechanisms and give examples for each in the body.
- Identify the body's main body fluid compartments.
- Explain the principles of measurements of body fluid compartments.
- Describe the functions of water.
- Describe the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance.
