BIO310H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Blood Sugar, Physiology, Acclimatization
Document Summary
Study of how cells, tissues, organs and organ systems function in living organisms. The study of physiology integrates knowledge at all levels of organization. If we understand one system, we can understand another because all the systems of the body work together. We learn physiology of animal and connect to laws rooted in physics and chemistry. *short answer questions - write down the answer as if you were teaching someone who doesn"t know anything about the subject (sell the product) Five time frames in which physiology changes. Changes in physiology in response to external environment. Short term change sin physiology of individual animals, changes that individuals exhibit soon after the environments have changed - reversible. Ex. raincoat on, if rain stops we take off raincoat. Acclimatization are reversible changes over short period of time - very very short and trivial changes.
