Definition and Scope of Physiology
Physiology is the study of how living organisms work. It is a study of the normal functions of organs and organ systems of the body, the conditions under which these functions are carried out and the mechanisms by which they are achieved. Scope ① whole organism (interplay of many separate organs). ② organs and organ systems. ③ Molecule and cell.
10
② Salty food ③ Excretion of sodium in the urine ①
11
Definition and Scope of Physiology
Status ① Many areas of function are still poorly understood. ② The integration of molecular biology with physiology will provide an ever-sharper view of how our bodies work. ③ Physiology is essential for the study and practice of medicine. normal function - physiology gone wrong - disease

Structure of living organism
Cell The basic units of Living Organisms. The simplest structural units into which a complex multicellular organism can be divided and still retain the functions characteristic of life are called cells. Multiplication A single cell divides to create two cell. Differentiation ① Definition: The process of transforming an unspecialized cell into a specialized cell. ② Effect: The formation of tissues and organs and organ systems.

Homeostasis Definition
A state of reasonably stable balance between physiological variables (a stable state of internal environment). ① Homeostasis is a dynamic, not a static process. ② It can be quantified by Time-Averaged Means. ③ The maintenance of homeostasis rely on a wide variety of control system. ④ Nonhomeostatic state can have life-threatening consequences.
31
Figure The variability with respect to time.
32
Biological Rhythms Definition Circadian rhythm
A characteristic of many body functions changes rhythmically. Circadian rhythm Circadian rhythm is the most common type, which cycles approximately once every 24 h. ① waking and sleeping. ② body temperature. ③ hormone concentrations in the blood. ④ the excretion of ions into urine and so on.
33
Biological Rhythms Effect on homeostasis Characteristic
They add an anticipatory component to homeostatic control system, in effect a feedforward system. Characteristic ① They are internally driven, and they are free-running rhythms( the biological rhythms persisted in the complete absence of environmental cues). ② Environmental time cues can entrain a circadian rhythm to 24h, and they also function to phase-shift rhythms( rest the internal clock). ③ The suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus functions as the principal pacemaker for circadian rhythms.

36
General Characteristics of Homeostatic Control System
① Homeostatic control systems include nerve system and hormonal system. ② The nerve system is composed of three major parts: the sensory input portion, the central nervous system and the motor output portion. ③ The hormonal system include eight major endocrine glands that secret chemical substances called hormones. ④ The regulation of internal environment include nervous regulation and hormonal regulation and auto-regulation. ⑤ Hormonal system and nerve systems complement each other to maintain homeostasis.

39
Feedback System Classification Negative feedback system
② Positive feedback system. Negative feedback system A change in the variable being regulated brings about responses that tend to push the variable in the direction opposite to the original change, Homeostatic control operates mainly on negative feedback. Example: the thermoregulatory system; enzymatic processes and so on. Positive feedback system An initial disturbance in the system sets off a train of events that increase the disturbance even further, less frequently seen in biological systems. Example: the process of parturition and micturition and the blood coagulation and so on.

Resetting of Set Points
The values that the homeostatic control system are trying maintain. Characteristics of Set point ① The set point for many regulated variables can be physiologically altered or reset. ② The set point can be reset in response to external stimuli such as bacteria, and it also occur on a rhythmical basis every day. ③ It is often possible to keep one property relatively constant only by moving others away from their usual set point, so it is not possible for everything to be held relatively constant by homeostatic systems.

Feedforward Regulation
Definition Feedforward regulation anticipates changes in a regulated variable, improves the speed of the body’s homeostatic responses, and minimizes fluctuations in the level of the variable being regulated. Example ① when it becomes cold, you will wear more clothes. ② When you see the picture of delicious food, you salivate. ③Your heart beats faster before you start running.
50
Components of Homeostatic Control System
Reflexes A reflex is a specific involuntary, unpremeditated, unlearned “built-in’’ response to a particular stimulus. Many of homeostatic control system belong to the general category of stimulus-response sequences known as reflexes. Reflex arc ( the pathway mediating a reflex) ① receptor ② afferent pathway ③ integrating center ④ efferent pathway ⑤ effector

The present usage of reflex was not restricted to the nervous system!
52
Components of Homeostatic Control System
Local Homeostatic Responses Like a reflex, a local response is the result of a sequence of events proceeding from a stimulus. Unlike a reflex, the entire sequence occurs only in the area of the stimulus. The significance of local responses is that they provide individual areas of the body with mechanisms for local self-regulation. Intercellular Chemical Messengers ① Hormones ② Neurotransmitters ③ Paracrine agents ④ Others.

Heat chamber 30min Temperature and the volume of sweat are measured. Day 2-9 Heat chamber 1-2h Temperature and the volume of sweat are measured. Results: on day 10, he sweat earlier and much more profusely than he did on day 1, and his body temperature does not rise to nearly the same degree. Conclusion: he become acclimatized to the heat.
58
Processes Related to Homeostasis
Adaptation and Acclimatization Adaptation A characteristic that favors survival in specific environments. Homeostatic control systems are inherited biological adaptations. Acclimatization An improved ability to respond to an environmental stress, it is a type of adaptation. The representation of acclimatization is varied. Some are reversible, some are irreversible.

Processes Related to Homeostasis
Balance in the homeostasis of chemicals ① The balance of substances in the body is achieved by matching inputs and outputs. ② Total body balance of a substance may be negative, positive, or stable.
