Human Physiology
The Scope of Human Physiology:
” Stated most simply and broadly, Physiology is the study of how living organisms work. As applied to human beings, its scope is extremely broad. At one end of the spectrum, it includes the study of individual molecules. For example, how a particular protein’s shape and electrical properties allow it to function as a channel for sodium ions to move into or out of the cell. At the other end, it is concerned with complex processes that depend on the interplay of many widely separated organs in the body. For example, how the brain, heart, and several glands work together to cause the excretion of more sodium in the urine when a person has eaten salty food.
what makes Physiologists unique among other biologists is that they are always interested in function and integration; how things work together at various levels of organization and, most importantly, in the entire organism.”
