Document Summary
The study of the normal functioning of a living organism and its component parts (chemical and physical processes) Atoms-molecules-cells-tissues-organs-organ systems-organisms-populations of one species-ecosystems of different species-biosphere. Major focus of physiology: integration of the function across many of these levels of organization. Physiology courses are generally organized by organ systems but they communicate with each other. Major themes of physiology: structure and function are closely related. Molecular interactions- function depends on the molecular shape (ex. hemoglobin protein) Nucleotides mostly c, h, o, n -hydroxyl oh. Proteins mostly c, h, o, n, s. *biomolecules are organic molecules associated with living organisms. Information may be in the form of chemical signals or electrical signals. The ability of body to maintain constant internal state despite variable. You can only have up to 3 fatty acids bc glycerol has only 3 carbons. Triglyceride: glycerol + 3 fatty acids (more than 90% of lipids)
