1
What is Physiology ?Physiology deals with functions of the body.Central aim is to keep the HOMEOSTASIS
that is to keep the INTERNAL- ENVIORNMENT of the cell constant, so that cells can work.
2
Levels of organization in the BodyCells are basic units of life.Cell is the smallest unit which is capable of
carrying out the processes associated with life.
3
Basic Cell FunctionObtaining food and O2from the surrounding.
Perform chemical reaction to use food and O2
Food + Oxygen = CO2+ H2O+EnergyEliminate CO2 and other waste products.Synthesize protein.Exchange of material through cell membrane.
4
Specialized Function of cells
Digestive System - secrete digestive enzymesMuscle Cells - Muscle contractionNerve Cell - send electrical impulses
5
Cells are organized in Tissues, Organs, Systems and finally Body.
Cells of similar structure and function are organized in Tissues .
6
TYPES OF TISSUEThere are FOUR types of Tissue 1- Muscle Tissue 2- Nervous Tissue 3- Epithelial Tissue 4- Connective Tissue
7
1. Muscle TissueMuscle Tissue - for contractionTHREE types of Muscles : 1– Skeletal Muscle 2– Cardiac Muscle 3– Smooth Muscle
8
2. NERVOUS TISSUENervous Tissue – Specialized cells for initiation and
transmission of Electrical impulses Brain Spinal cord Nerves
9
3. Epithelial TissueTwo types
1. Epithelial lining e.g. Skin, Digestive system
2. Secretary glands e.g. Salivary glands
10
Glands – Two typesExocrine - Having duct e.g. salivary glandEndocrine - Ductless e.g. Thyroid gland
11
4. Connective TissueConnective tissue connects, supports the body e.g. Tendon - attach skeletal muscle to bone
Elastin - helps in stretching and recoil of the lungs
12
ORGANS Organs are composed of tissues (Two or
more types ) to perform a particular function.E.g. stomach has all four primary tissues i.e.
Epithelial, Muscle, Nervous and connective tissue.
13
BODY SYSTEMSOrgans make the body system.Each system works to perform related
functions and is essential for survival of body.E.g. – Digestive system works for digestion
and absorption.
14
TOTAL BODY
Composed of organ systems linked together structurally and functionally.
15
CONCEPT OF HOMEOSTASISBody cells work in INTERNAL
ENVIRONMENT that surrounds the body.What is Internal Environment ?It is aqueous(watery) Extracellular Fluid
with which body cells are in direct contact it is outside the cell but not inside the cell.
16
Extracellular Fluid (ECF)What is Extracellular Fluid (ECF) ?ECF consists of -Plasma (fluid portion of blood) and Interstitial
fluid (which surrounds the cells)Materials are exchanged between the plasma
and interstitial fluid across the capillary membrane e.g. O2 and nutrition go from plasma to interstitial fluid than to cell
Same way waste products go from cell to Interstitial fluid to plasma.
17
HOMEOSTASIS (continued)Homeo = SameStasis = StayCells can only work when Internal
environment (cell surrounding) physical and chemical state is within narrow physiological limits.
Homeostasis is essential for survival of each cell.
18
HOMEOSTASIS (continued)All body system work for Homeostasis so that
body can function.How body keeps Internal environment
constant.E.g.- If CO2 increases – it affects
respiration(increased) to get rid of increased CO2
-when cold outside, our body temperature decreases –shivering occurs to increase the body temperature.
19
HOMEOSTASIS (continued)For Homeostasis, Following factors are to be
maintained constant: -supply of nutrient -concentration of O2 and CO2 -waste product concentration -pH as acidity affects enzyme activity -concentration of water and electrolytes - Temperature, narrow limit 35-38c - plasma volume and Blood pressure
20
Body SystemsELEVEN Body Systems work for Homeostasis
: 1. Circulatory system 2. Digestive system 3. Respiratory system 4. Urinary system 5. Skeletal system 6. Muscular system
21
Body Systems (CONT)
7. Integumentary system- skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, temperature regulation
8. Immune system 9. Nervous system 10. Endocrine system 11. Reproductive system
