The term human physiology and its research
objectives.
Fundamental characters of living organism:
Metabolism, excitability and reproduction.
Regulation of physiological activities : Nervous
regulation, humoral regulation, autoregulation.
Cybernetic & automatic control system : Negative
feedback, positive feedback, feed forward control.
Specific
characteristics
and
mechanisms of
the human body
make it a living
being.
Levels of physiological research
Metabolism : It is the ability to use energy to
perform vital functions such as growth, movement,
and reproduction.
Excitability and Responsiveness : An organism is
responsive if it can sense (excitability) changes in
the environment and make adjustments that help
maintain its life.
Reproduction :
The formation of new cells or new organisms.
Is reproduction a homeostatic function???
Maintenanceof static or
constant conditions in
the internal
environment
Concentration of O2 and CO2
Concentration of nutrients and waste products
pH of internal environment
Concentration of salts and other electrolytes
Volume, temperature and pressure of extra
cellular fluid
Nervous regulation
Humoral regulation
Autoregulation
Reflex
Action
potential
propagation.
Hemostasis (Blood coagulation)
When response has to occur rapidly, the brain
uses a principle called feed forward control.
Seen mainly in nervous system. Eg:
Conditioned reflex
Adaptive control.
