  1. Physiology JULIE ROTHACHER LASHEKA GULLEY

  2. Physiology • Definition of Physiology • Definition of Physiome • History • Claude Bernard and his contributions to Physiology • Areas of physiology • Human • Animal

  3. DEFINITIONS Physiology is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms. It is derived from the Greek words physis meaning nature and logos meaning word. Physiome is an individual’s or species’ physiological state as the description of its functional behavior.

  4. HISTORY • Claude Bernard was a French physiologist and considered the “father” of modern experimental physiology. • His first works studied the physiology of digestion and the roles of the pancreas glands, gastric juices, and the intestines. He also studied the internal metabolism and understanding the glycogenesis in the liver. • He was also responsible of breakthroughs in understanding principles of organic life and homeostasis

  5. AREAS OF PHYSIOLOGY • Myophysiology • Neurophysiology • Cell physiology • Comparative(Environmental) physiology • Membrane physiology • Respiratory physiology • Renal physiology • Endocrinology • Reproductive phisiology • Exercise physiology • Neuroendocrinology

  6. Past Physiology The common belief of highly trained doctors and scientists was that a mysterious life force was what made the only difference between all life and non-living things

  7. Future Physiology Human Genome Project: Furthering the understanding of to make connections between genetic information and physiological function

  8. Muscle Tissue Produce mechanical work through shortening

  9. Nervous Tissue Provide communication and coordinate organ systems through rapid electrical signaling

  10. Nervous Tissue

  11. Epithelial Tissue Cover surfaces both outside and inside our bodiesEx: digestive tract, urinary tract, blood vessels, ducts, and other structures

  12. Connective Tissue “catch all” group that includes a diverse set of tissuesEx: tendons, bone, ligaments, adipose tissue, and even blood

  13. Homeostasis

  14. Homeostasis
