Physiology is an integrative science which considers the function of each organ and organ system and their interaction in the maintenance of life. This book is designed to provide the foundation for understanding the normal function of the human body. Each chapter emphasizes the basic concepts that apply to each organ and organ system as well as their integration to maintain homeostasis and proper responses to perturbations such as exercise, illness, and trauma. The organ systems covered include: nervous, muscle, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and urinary. Examples from daily life activities and clinical scenarios as well as review questions are presented to illustrate basic science principles, to facilitate integration of the course content and to foster problem solving skills.

Quotes

  • Luisa Marqueshas quoted4 years ago
    POSITIVE FEEDBACK reinforces the stimulus rather than decreasing or removing it (Figure 5) and is therefore an unstable condition.
  • Luisa Marqueshas quoted4 years ago
    NEGATIVE FEEDBACK loops remove the stimulus (Figure 3). A critical consequence of negative feedback control is that it allows the system to resist deviation of a given parameter from a preset range (set point). Negative feedback is the most common form of homeostatic control in biological systems
  • Luisa Marqueshas quoted4 years ago
    REFLEX CONTROL involves the nervous and endocrine systems. Reflex control responds to changes that are more widespread or systemic in nature.
