    Study Notes

    Goal of Physiology

    • Physiology aims to understand the functions and processes of living organisms, emphasizing how body systems interact and operate.

    Division of Physiology

    • The field of physiology can be segmented into various branches, including but not limited to cellular physiology, systemic physiology, and comparative physiology.
    • Subdivisions allow for specialized study of different systems and organisms.

    Human Needs and Motivations

    • Humans are driven to seek food, shelter, warmth, companionship, and the urge to reproduce, influenced by biological and psychological factors.
    • These needs are reflective of intrinsic survival instincts and social connections.

    Human Experience and Knowledge

    • Humans are characterized by a continuous pursuit of seeking, feeling, and acquiring knowledge, highlighting the complex interplay between behavior and cognition.
    • This quest reflects a fundamental drive to understand the environment and enhance survival.

    Subdivisions of Physiology

    • Key subdivisions include neurophysiology, focusing on the nervous system; exercise physiology, examining physical activity effects; and endocrinology, the study of hormones and their physiological impacts.
    • Other areas may encompass reproductive physiology and environmental physiology, each addressing specific aspects of organism functioning.
