Document Summary
1. 1 the scope of human physiology: phys = how living organisms function, look at functions and integrations, how it all works together, pathophys = physiology gone wrong, a lot of phys is still unknown. Organs are made of two or more tissues. Many organs are put into small subunits referred to as functional units. Basolateral side = side of the cell anchored to basement membrane. Transmits info in form of chemical messengers to cells to help regulate their activity, migration, growth and differentiation. Elastic = rubberband like intracellular fluid = fluid contained within all the cells of the body and accounds for. 1. 6 components of homeostatic control systems reflexes = response sequences, many of these reflexes occur with or without conscious awareness o reflex = specific involuntary built in response to a particular stimulus. Homeostasis is essential for health and survival: 2. The functions of organ systems are coordinated with each other: 3.
