Introduction to Physiology** - **Physiology** -- Study of how living organisms function. - **Emergent Properties** -- Complex functions that arise from interactions of simple components. - **Levels of Organization** -- Molecules → Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ Systems → Organism → Population. - **Cell** -- Smallest unit of life. - **Tissues & Organs** -- Groups of cells working together for a function. - **10 Organ Systems** -- Integumentary, Musculoskeletal, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Immune, Circulatory, Nervous, Endocrine, Reproductive. **2. Function and Mechanism** - **Teleological vs. Mechanistic Approach** - *Teleological:* Why a process happens (e.g., \"The heart pumps blood to deliver oxygen\"). - *Mechanistic:* How a process happens (e.g., \"The heart contracts due to electrical signals\"). - **Translational Research** -- Applying research to medical treatments. **3. Themes in Physiology** - **Structure/Function Relationship** -- The shape of a structure determines its function (e.g., red blood cells are round for better oxygen transport). - **Compartmentalization** -- Separating functions (e.g., stomach acid vs. intestinal environment). - **Energy Use** -- The body requires energy for function. - **Information Flow** -- Signals control body functions (e.g., nervous system communication). **4. Homeostasis** - **Definition** -- Maintaining a stable internal environment. - **Regulated Variables** -- Temperature, pH, ion levels, oxygen, water balance. - **Failure of Homeostasis** -- Leads to disease (e.g., diabetes). - **Internal Environment = Extracellular Fluid** -- Surrounds cells for stability. - **Law of Mass Balance** -- Input = Output to maintain balance. - **Clearance** -- Rate at which substances are removed from the body. - **Dynamic Steady State** -- Internal conditions adjust but remain stable. **5. Control Systems in Physiology** - **Setpoints** -- Normal ranges for regulated variables. - **Local Control** -- Small-scale regulation (e.g., blood vessels dilating near muscles). - **Control System Components** - Input Signal → Integrating Center → Output Signal → Response. - **Response Loop** -- How the body detects and responds to changes. - **Negative Feedback** -- Response stops the original stimulus (e.g., sweating cools the body, then stops). - **Positive Feedback** -- Response increases the original stimulus (e.g., labor contractions). - **Feedforward Control** -- Anticipating changes before they occur (e.g., salivating before eating). - **Biological Rhythms** -- Cyclic body functions (e.g., circadian rhythms). **6. The Science of Physiology** - **Scientific Method** -- Observation → Hypothesis → Experiment → Data Analysis → Conclusion. - **Independent vs. Dependent Variable** -- - Independent: What is changed. - Dependent: What is measured. - **Control Groups** -- Used to ensure accuracy in experiments. - **Revising Theories** -- New data can change scientific understanding. - **Animal Experimentation** -- Used to control variability before human trials. - **Placebo & Nocebo Effect** -- Psychological influence of treatments. - **Blind & Double-Blind Studies** -- Reduce bias in experiments. - **Meta-Analysis** -- Combining multiple studies for broader conclusions. **CHAPTER 1\`** **1.1 Summarization** Physiology is the study of how living organisms function at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels. It explains how different body parts work together to maintain homeostasis, the stable internal environment necessary for survival. The body uses **feedback mechanisms** to regulate physiological processes: - **Negative feedback** helps maintain stability by reversing a change (e.g., temperature regulation). - **Positive feedback** enhances a change until a specific outcome is reached (e.g., childbirth contractions). Physiologists use **the scientific method** to study body functions, conducting experiments to test hypotheses and develop medical advancements. **1.2 Flashcards** 1. **What is physiology?** - The study of how the body functions at different levels. 2. **Define homeostasis.** - The body\'s ability to maintain a stable internal environment. 3. **What is negative feedback?** - A control mechanism that counteracts changes to restore balance. 4. **Give an example of negative feedback.** - Regulation of body temperature (sweating when hot, shivering when cold). 5. **What is positive feedback?** - A control mechanism that amplifies changes instead of reversing them. 6. **Give an example of positive feedback.** - Oxytocin release during childbirth, which strengthens contractions. 7. **What is the role of the scientific method in physiology?** - It helps scientists conduct experiments and develop medical advancements. **1.3 Definitions & Medical Examples** - **Homeostasis** -- The body\'s ability to maintain stable conditions.\ **Example:** Blood glucose regulation through insulin and glucagon. - **Negative Feedback** -- A process that stabilizes a physiological function.\ **Example:** Blood pressure regulation by the nervous system. - **Positive Feedback** -- A mechanism that amplifies physiological responses.\ **Example:** Blood clotting after an injury to prevent excessive bleeding. - **Set Point** -- The ideal value for a physiological condition (e.g., normal body temperature of 98.6°F or 37°C).\ **Example:** Deviations from set points trigger regulatory mechanisms. - **Scientific Method** -- A systematic approach to experimentation and observation.\ **Example:** Clinical trials test new treatments for diseases like diabetes. **1.4 Study Guide Format** **Key Topics to Review** ✔ Definition of Physiology\ ✔ Homeostasis & Its Importance\ ✔ Negative vs. Positive Feedback\ ✔ Examples of Physiological Regulation\ ✔ The Scientific Method in Physiology CHAPTER 2 MOLECULES AND BONDS Lipids \- Fatty acid \- monosachharides -saturated (hydrogen all) -unsaturated(missing H) -poly (many) Glycerol \- Structure, backbone of most lipids \- More than 90% of lipids are In the form of triglycerids Eicosanoids (Make sure to spell) \- Thromoxanes= form thrombosis= blood clots Sterioids \- Lipids trimeans Prostaglandins- Cholestrol (Structure) \- building block for steroid hormones.

All amino acids have a carboxyl group, C O O H, an amino group, N H 2, and a hydrogen attached to the same carbon. The fourth bond of the carbon attaches to a variable R group. The nitrogen in the amino group makes proteins our major dietary source of nitrogen. The R groups differ in their size, shape, and ability to form hydrogen bonds or ions. Because of the different R groups, each amino acid reacts with other molecules in a unique way. In a peptide bond, the amino group of one amino acid joins the carboxyl group of the other, with the loss of water. ![Twenty different amino acids commonly occur in natural proteins. The human body can synthesize most of them, but at different stages of life some amino acids must be obtained from diet and are therefore considered essential amino acids.

A solute is any substance that dissolves in a liquid. The degree to which a molecule is able to dissolve in a solvent is the molecule's solubility. The more easily a solute dissolves, the higher its solubility. A solvent is the liquid into which solutes dissolve. In biological solutions, water is the universal solvent. A solution is the combination of solutes dissolved in a solvent. The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute per unit volume of solution. Concentration equals solute amount divided by volume of solution. An accompanying image shows a spoonful of a powdery substance being added to a liquid in a beaker to form a solution.

CONTINUATION 02/03/2025 ========== TEST QUESTIONS:\ \ BASES\ 5% solution and saline SLIDE 31 Motor Protein Mitochondria \- has its own DNA, doesn't synthesis all of its protein. Mitochondria only from mom is given to fetus. Cholesterol = Steroids Golgi Apparatus- packaging of proteins Lysosomes- break down bacteria and old organelles Peroxisomes- break down fatty acids and toxic materials Three diagrams show organelles in cells. The first diagram shows mitochondria, which are spherical to elliptical organelles with a double wall that creates two separate compartments within the organelle. The inner matrix is surrounded by a membrane that folds into leaflets called cristae. The intermembrane space, which lies between the two membranes, plays an important role in A T P production. The outer membrane encases the entire organelle. Mitochondria are the site of most A T P synthesis in the cell. The second diagram shows Golgi apparatus and their vesicles. The Golgi apparatus consists of a series of hollow curved sacs called cisternae stacked on top of one another and surrounded by vesicles. The Golgi apparatus participates in protein modification and packaging. The third diagram shows an ectoplasmic reticulum and their ribosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of interconnected membrane tubes that are a continuation of the outer nuclear membrane. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has a granular appearance due to rows of ribosomes dotting its cytoplasmic surface. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and appears as smooth membrane tubes. The rough E R is the main site of protein synthesis. The ribosomes are protrusions on the surface of the reticulum. The smooth E R synthesizes lipids and, in some cells, concentrates and stores calcium ions. ![Peroxisomes, lysosomes and centrioles in cells. Peroxisomes are globular in shape and contain enzymes that break down fatty acids and some foreign materials. Lysosomes are small, spherical storage vesicles that contain powerful digestive enzymes. Centrioles are tubular in nature and are made from microtubules. They direct D N A movement during cell division.](media/image21.jpeg) Nucleus \- 2 membrane with pores Pore complexes \- communication between nucleus and cytosol Nucleoli \- synthesis of ribosomal RNA \- Nucleus. The nucleus is surrounded by a double-membrane nuclear envelope. Both membranes of the envelope are pierced here and there by pores to allow communication with the cytoplasm. The outer membrane of the nuclear envelope connects to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In cells that are not dividing, the nucleus appears filled with randomly scattered granular material composed of D N A and proteins. Usually a nucleus also contains from one to four larger dark-staining bodies of D N A, R N A, and protein called nucleoli. ![A diagram of protein synthesis demonstrates subcellular compartmentation. The cell is encased in a cell membrane. D N A strands are in the nucleus, which is intermittently accessed through the nuclear pores. m R N A is transcribed from genes in the D N A. The m R N A leaves the nucleus and attaches to cytosolic ribosomes, initiating protein synthesis. Some proteins are released by free ribosomes into the cytosol or are targeted to specific organelles. The ribosomes develop growing amino-acid chains, which release targeted proteins and cytosolic proteins. The targeted proteins are absorbed by the peroxisomes and mitochondria. Ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum direct proteins destined for packaging into the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The Proteins are modified as they pass through the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Transport vesicles move the proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Golgi cisternae migrate toward the cell membrane. Some vesicles bud off the cisternae and move in a retrograde or backward fashion. Some vesicles bud off to form lysosomes or storage vesicles. Other vesicles become secretory vesicles that release their contents outside the cell, into the extracellular fluid. ](media/image23.jpeg) TISSUES OF THE BODY Extracellular matrix \- synthesized and secreted by the cell Proteoglycans \- Glycoproteins Insoluabel proteins \- collagen \- fibronectin \- laminin Integrins; integrate and bond collagen and laminin Cell junctions CAMS- membrane spanning proteins, cell adhesion molecule Gap junctions: in Uterus and hearts Occluding junctions is Tight junctions Ex: found in the intestine Tight junctions formed by claudin Desmosomes Focal adhesions- they focus one place in the cell Selectins- A table has 4 rows and 2 columns.

Most epithelia attach to an underlying matrix layer called the basal lamina or basement membrane. The diagram shows epithelial cells attach to the basal lamina using cell adhesion molecules. Basal lamina, that is, the basement membrane, is an acellular matrix layer that is secreted by the epithelial cells. The underlying tissue lies below the basement membrane. STRUCTURE \- synthesize and secrete intestines Layers:simple and stratified Shapes: Squamous, cuboidal, and columnar ![Five functional categories of epithelia are as follows. \"A table has 4 rows and 6 columns.

Transporting epithelia selectively move substances between a lumen and the ECF. The basolateral membrane is a barrier between the lumen of an intestine or kidney and extracellular fluid. The upper part of membrane, the apical membrane is populated with microvilli. Tight junctions in a transporting epithelium prevent movement between adjacent cells. Substances must instead pass through the epithelial cell, crossing two phospholipid cell membranes as they do so.

The Golgi apparatus is above the nucleus, in the pore opening. Goblet cells secrete mucus into the lumen of hollow organs such as the intestine.](media/image33.jpeg)A diagram shows the development of endocrine and exocrine glands. During development, the region of epithelium destined to become glandular tissue divides downward into the underlying connective tissue. The epithelium is located above the connective tissue. A hollow center, or lumen, forms in exocrine glands, creating a duct that provides a passageway for secretions to move to the surface of the epithelium. The duct is surrounded by the exocrine secretory cells. Endocrine glands lose the connecting bridge of cells that links them to the parent epithelium. Their secretions go directly into the bloodstream. The connecting cells disappear into the connective tissue beneath the epithelium. A blood vessel runs through endocrine secretory cells located in the connective tissue. CONNECTIVE TISSUE\ - ground substance (matrix) \- made by fibroblast \- moble cells (blood) ![A map of connective tissue components. The cells break down into two types, mobile and fixed. Mobile cells are blood cells. Blood cells are red blood cells and white blood cells. Red blood cells function as oxygen and carbon dioxide transport vehicles. White blood cells function as fight invaders. Fixed blood cells are macrophages, adipocytes and fibroblasts. The macrophages also function as fight invaders in the body. The adipocytes store energy in fat and fibroblasts synthesize in the matrix. The matrix can be divided into ground substances and protein fibers. Ground fibers are in four categories, mineralized, gelatinous, syrupy and water. Bone is mineralized ground fiber. Loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, cartilage, adipose tissue are gelatinous and syrupy ground substances. Blood plasma is watery ground substance. Protein fibers are broken down into fibronectin, fibrillin, elastin, collagen. Fibronectin connects cells to the matrix. Fibrillin forms filaments and sheets. Elastin provides stretch and recoil properties to the skin while collagen makes the skin stiff but flexible. ](media/image35.jpeg) Macrophages- fight invaders come from the tissue ( CELL SECTION VERY IMPORTANT ) A diagram of a blood cell Description automatically generated - Types of Connective Tissue - Loose connective tissues - Elastic tissues under skin - Provide support for small glands - Dense connective tissues - Irregular and regular - Provide strength or flexibility - Tendons -- skeltal muscles to bone - Ligaments -- bone to bone ![Two photographs and a diagram show explain bone and cartilage tissue.
