Study Notes
Physiology and Its Significance
- Physiology is the study of the normal functioning of a living organism and its component parts, including all its chemical and physical processes.
- The term "physiology" literally means "knowledge of nature."
Ancient Remedies and Modern Medicine
- Ancient remedies, such as camel dung and powdered sheep horn, may seem bizarre, but some are still used today, such as blood-sucking leeches and chemicals derived from medicinal plants.
Omics and the "Ome" Suffix
- The "ome" suffix comes from the Latin word for "mass" or "tumor" and is used to refer to a collection of items that make up a whole, such as a genome (all the genetic material of an organism) or a physiome (an organism's coordinated molecular, cellular, and physiological functioning).
Human Body Systems
- There are 10 physiological organ systems in the human body, including the nervous, circulatory, and digestive systems.
Translational Research
- Translational research uses insights and results from basic medical research to develop treatments and strategies for preventing human diseases.
- An example of translational research is the development of a drug for treating diabetes mellitus.
Physiology and Problem-Solving
- Physiology requires more than just memorizing facts and learning new terminology; it requires a conceptual framework and the ability to solve problems.
- Pattern recognition is an important skill in healthcare professions, and it can simplify learning physiology.
Excretion and Clearance
- Excretion is the elimination of material from the body, usually through the urine, feces, lungs, or skin.
- Clearance is the rate at which a substance is removed from the blood, and it is an important concept in physiology.
- Examples of clearance include the exhalation of carbon dioxide and the excretion of ethanol in the breath.
Diabetes and Insulin
- Type 2 diabetes may require insulin treatment as the disease progresses.
- Eating a high-fiber diet may help manage diabetes, but it is not a substitute for insulin treatment.
