  1. What is Physiology?
    The study of organisms
  2. External vs Internal environment
    • External environment are components OUTSIDE the body (air, nutrients, H20, inorganic cmpds)
    • Internal environment are components INSIDE the body (Cells, fluids)
  3. What separates internal and external environments?
    • Epithelium 
    • -Ex Skin, lining of lungs, intestinal tract, and kidney tubules
  4. The Human body requires contact with external environment. What are the problems and solutions for this?
    • Problem: Not all cells are in direct contact with external environment
    • Solution: Fluid compartments allow for cell communication
  5. Total Body Water (TBW)
    • Volume of H20 in all the body's compartments 
    • Includes: Intracellular and Extracellular fluid
  6. Intracellular Fluid
    Fluid inside the cells
  7. Extracellular Fluid
    • Fluid outside the cells
    • Includes: Plasma and Interstitial Fluid
  8. Plasma vs interstitial fluid
    • Plasma: Liquid (non-cellular) portion of blood
    • Interstitial Fluid: Fluid (outside the blood) surrounding the cells
    • Both considered extracellular fluid
  9. Goal of physiology
    To maintain homeostasis
  10. Homeostasis
    • Maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment 
    • Unifying theme in physiology 
    • May be disrupted by disease
  11. Two types of Homeostatic control systems and how they work
    • Intrinsic/ Local control: Inherent in an organ
    • Extrinsic/ Systemic control: Regulatory mechanism initiated outside organ, Endocrine & Nervous system, Coordinated response from several different organs 
    • Both goals are homeostasis
  12. Regulated variables of homeostasis
    • Temperature
    • pH
    • Salinity 
    • Dissolved gas concentration (02, CO2)
    • Nutrient and waste concentration
  13. What is a Set Point?

  16. Homeostatic response to out of range set points
    • 1. Stimulus: Change from set point (Error Signal)
    • 2. Sensor: Detects stimulus (sensor & Beta cells)
    • 3. Integrating center: Receives input from receptors(Beat cells), Determines needed outputs to effectors 
    • 4. Effectors: Receives output to response to stimulus
  17. Response after a change is detected
    Feedback
  18. Negative Feedback
    • Response moves the system in the opposite direction of initial change
