Study Notes
Introduction to Physiology
- Physiology is the science of studying body systems
- It focuses on:
- Functions of body systems
- Mechanisms of function
- Factors affecting function
Human Body Structure
- The human body is composed of a series of interdependent systems
- Systems are made of organs
- Organs are made of tissues
- Tissues are made of cells (structural unit of the body)
The Cell
- Cells are composed of a cell membrane and cytoplasm
- The cytoplasm contains:
- Nucleus: holds genetic material (DNA)
- Mitochondria: produce energy
- Golgi apparatus
- Lysosomes: contain protein-digesting enzymes
- Ribosomes: responsible for protein synthesis
- Centrosome: involved in cell division
- Rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
