    Study Notes

    Pathophysiology Overview

    • The primary focus of pathophysiology is the study of the changes that occur within the body as a result of disease or injury, with an emphasis on the functional changes that occur at the molecular, cellular, and organ system levels.

    Pathology vs. Pathophysiology

    • Pathology focuses on the structural changes associated with disease, whereas pathophysiology focuses on the functional changes that occur as a result of disease or injury.

    Etymology of Pathophysiology

    • The term 'pathophysiology' originates from the Greek words 'pathos' (disease), 'physios' (nature), and 'logos' (study or knowledge).

    Establishment of Physiology Research in Germany

    • The establishment of autonomous physiology research in Germany in the 1830s was led by the work of Johannes Müller, who emphasized the importance of experimental methods in physiology research.

    Physiology Overview

    • Physiology primarily describes the functions and processes that occur within living organisms, focusing on the normal functioning of the body and its systems.
