    Study Notes

    Veterinary Physiology Introduction

    • Physiology studies the functions of organisms, explaining how life processes work.
    • It's an integrative discipline, building from homeostasis and integration.
    • Understanding animal health is crucial for veterinarians.

    Importance of Physiology

    • Explains the physical and chemical factors responsible for life's origin, development, and progression.
    • Highlights the importance of genetic engineering.
    • Aids in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and explains how illnesses occur.
    • Provides foundational knowledge for veterinary clinical experiences.

    Applications of Physiology for Veterinarians

    • Enables veterinarians to understand normal body functions.
    • Helps diagnose and treat health problems.
    • Provides a basis for medical research, with implications for improved treatments.

    Adaptation

    • Organisms adapt to environment changes to stay alive.
    • This is demonstrated by certain animals like tokay geckos who adapted to new environments.

    History of Physiology

    • William Harvey's work on blood circulation started the field of physiology.
    • Development continued with other influential scientists such as Kant, Von Schelling, Ludwig, Bernard, and Darwin.
    • Important milestones in science were recorded.

    Veterinary Physiology Topics

    • Homeostasis and body systems' interdependent relationship for maintaining life.
    • Homeostatic mechanisms regulate internal environment factors (energy molecules, O2 & CO2, waste products, and electrolytes).
    • The ability to form clots (hemostasis) to prevent bleeding.
    • Maintaining internal environment in the face of disturbances is important.

    Integration of Systems

    • Physiology integrating knowledge from different disciplines for a comprehensive understanding.
    • Anatomy, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, and genetics.

    Functional Organization of the Body

    • Structures organized from molecules to cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems to form a functioning organism.

    Physiological Systems in the Body

    • Systems listed, with examples of functions and characteristics. This includes the integumentary, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, urinary, digestive, endocrine, immune, and musculoskeletal systems.

    Cellular Physiology

    • Cells are distinct from inanimate matter.
    • Cells grow from single cells to multicellular via mitosis.
    • Cells replicate (Mitotes and Meiosis) for reproduction, growth, or repair of tissues.
    • Cells undergo complex metabolic reactions (Kreb cycle) for energy production.

    Molecular Physiology

    • Importance of organic and inorganic molecules in body functions.
    • Carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, water, and other inorganic molecules for life's processes.

    Role of Membranous Organelles

    • Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, and peroxisomes are important for cells' functions.
    • These organelles help synthesize, package, transport, and break down molecules within a cell.
    • Mitochondria's role in energy production.

    Oxygen Deficiency and Anaerobic Reactions

    • When oxygen is limited, glycolysis is the main pathway for ATP production.
    • Production of lactate will result in lower pH.
    • The use of ATP production becomes paramount to sustain normal body functions.

    Membrane Transport

    • Membranes separate cells and their surroundings, selectively controlling transfer of substances.
    • Passive transport (diffusion, osmosis) does not require energy and follows concentration gradients.
    • Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move molecules against concentration gradients.

    Intercellular Communication

    • Cells communicate directly (gap junctions, transient links, nanotubes) or indirectly (paracrines, neurotransmitters, hormones, neurohormones, pheromones, and cytokines).
