INTRODUCTION TO PHYSIOLOGY AND HOMEOSTATIS PHYSIOLOGY 1.1 Intro to Physiology Physiology: the study of the functions of living things‚ how the human body works Two approaches explain the events that occur in body -purpose of the body process - mechanism in which the process occurs Physiologists view the body as a machine whose mechanisms of action can explained in terms of cause and effect sequences of physical and chemical processes. Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the

and _conductivity___. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the __sodium-potassium pump______. This system moves _sodium____ out of the cell and ___potassium___ into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative‚ not only due to the active transport system but also because of _intracellular proteins_‚ which remain negative due to intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative

1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. Explain the principle of complementarity and how it applies to this course. The term anatomy refers to the structure of the body and its parts. Along with the study of the body structure‚ anatomy also refers to how these body parts work together and their working relationship as a whole. Physiology is the study of how the living systems in the body function and work. When studying the Physiology of the body it is most understandable if terms from the underlying

There are many aspects of being an exercise physiology major. The field of exercise physiology has always interested me‚ but I was never sure about what career path I would choose. This year has really given me a better understanding of what path I would like to pursue. I really wanted to be an occupational therapist‚ but shortly after decided that I wanted to be a physical therapist. According to Writing‚ the annual salary for a physical therapist is in a range from $70‚000-$100‚000 (2010). I wanted

Acute renal failure is the sudden loss of the kidneys ability to function; affecting more than 100‚000 people in the United States alone each year (NIDDK‚ 2008). This paper will discuss the basic pathophysiology of acute renal failure‚ including its cause‚ disease mechanisms‚ symptoms‚ some of the treatments and pharmacological therapies. Pathophysiology Acute renal failure (ARF) is the rapid loss of kidney function occurring when high levels of uremic toxins accumulate in the blood

Renal disease case study This case relates to renal disease; therefore~ purposefully look into the medication use and vocabulary as they relate to renal patients. Vocabulary: Before attempting to work the case study‚ define each of the vocabulary words. Although the words may have several subheadings‚ it will give you a place to begin your inquiry. When reviewing the vocabulary words‚ you might want to ask several questions: who‚ what‚ where‚ when‚ why and how. This should give you a much broader
