Features of Pocket Companion

Compacts essential physiological principles for medical study.
Serves as a quick reference for students to review major concepts efficiently.
Highlights significant physiological processes, aiding rapid comprehension.

Homeostasis in Physiology

Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through organ and tissue functions.
The body constantly regulates the composition of extracellular fluid.
Key mechanisms involve both the circulatory system and cellular interactions.

Extracellular Fluid Transport

Blood circulates to transport extracellular fluid in two stages:
- Blood movement through the circulatory system.
- Fluid exchange between blood capillaries and cells.
The circulatory system ensures continuous mixing of internal fluids.

Ciliary Movement

Ciliary movement is observed in respiratory airways and uterine tubes.
In respiratory pathways, cilia clear mucus at approximately 1 cm/min.
In the uterine tubes, cilia facilitate the transport of the ovum toward the uterus.
Requires ATP and proper ionic conditions (magnesium and calcium).

Genetic Control of Protein Synthesis

Genes direct protein synthesis, thereby influencing cell function.
Proteins act as enzymes and structural components.
Each gene is a double-stranded DNA molecule that dictates RNA formation.

Mechanism of Protein Synthesis

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized, which guides protein assembly at ribosomes.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) matches specific amino acids to the corresponding codons on mRNA.
Peptide linkages form amino acid chains, resulting in protein molecules once a stop codon is reached.

Regulation of Gene Expression

Gene function is regulated from DNA transcription to protein formation.
The promoter region of a gene plays a critical role in controlling gene expression.
Regulation determines the types and proportions of proteins and enzymes produced within cells.
