Study Notes
Pathophysiology Overview
- The main focus of Pathophysiology is the study of the changes that occur within the body as a result of diseases, including the mechanism of disease development and progression.
Pathology vs Physiology
- The main difference between Pathology and Physiology is that Pathology deals with the study of diseases, including their causes, mechanisms, and consequences, while Physiology focuses on the normal functions and processes of living organisms.
Origin of Pathophysiology
- The term Pathophysiology originates from the Greek words "pathos" meaning disease, "physis" meaning nature, and "logos" meaning study.
Establishment of Physiology Research
- In the 1830s, Johannes Müller led the establishment of physiology research autonomous from medical research in Germany.
Founding of the Physiological Society
- The Physiological Society was founded in 1843, marking a significant milestone in the development of physiology as a distinct scientific discipline.
