Study Notes

Human Physiology: Introduction

Physiology is the scientific study of how organisms function.
Sub-disciplines include medical, animal, plant, cell, and comparative physiology.
Human physiology focuses on maintaining homeostasis in the human body.
It includes the study of nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems.
Medical physiology explains the chemistry and physics of basic body functions.

Cell Physiology

A cell consists of the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm.
The cytoplasm contains organelles and a filament network.

Structure of the Cell Membrane

The cell membrane encloses each cell, separating the intracellular and extracellular environments.
It maintains cell integrity and regulates material passage.
Composed of a lipid bilayer with cholesterol molecules.
The lipid bilayer maintains membrane fluidity across temperatures.
Membrane proteins include integral proteins that span the membrane and act as transporters.
Other membrane proteins have various roles.
