This course will present the basics / principles of physiology (Gk. physis = nature/origin; Gk, logia = study of). Organisms are constructed from organ systems, organs, tissues, cells, molecules. Homeostasis maintains constancy of the internal environment (physical and chemical conditions of the extracellular fluid) at a level that optimizes cellular life. The neural, endocrine, and neuroendocrine systems coordinate the activity of all body systems. Body systems will be studied from these perspectives.
