Document Summary
Introduction to human physiology: physiology: how the body maintains homeostasis (homeo = similar, stasis = condition) Each compartment comprised of mixture of different electolytes (salts), sugars, proteins. Intracellular/extracellular, external/internal how they communicate with eachother while maintaining homeostasis. Membranes key to their function: physiology = homeostasis; pathologies arise when homeostasis fails. Changes in external/internal environment = viruses, antibodies, insulin-dependent diabetes and dehydration, cold/hot temp, hunger. If something occurs outside environment, internal not able to regulate, body not able too compensate = diseases. Organism organs tissues cells subcellular mechanisms pathways proteins genes: apply integrated approa(cid:272)h . The use of different methods to address the question a multi-dis(cid:272)iplinary approa(cid:272)h . Spans cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, behavioral science etc: requirement for hypothesis (derived from latin = to assume) Hypothesis needs to be logical and informed based on info available. Needs to be testable depends on technologies available e. g. students are more susceptible to alcohol intoxication when food deprived.
