Physiology – It’s Roots
• One of the oldest branches of science• Starting around 420 B.C.
– Hippocrates – • moved it from theology and religion into its own field
– Argued that disease was not a handout from angry Gods, but rather from poor diet, environment, and habits
• Called the “father of medicine”• Founded Hippocratic School of Medicine• His sons, and son-in-law studied under him
– Polybus (son-in-law) and Thessalus founded the Dogmatic School of Medicine

Physiology – It’s Roots
• Next big influence was Galen– 129-200 (ish) A.D.– Became father of modern medicine, studied
anatomy* extensively• His drawings of mammalian structure were used
until 1500’s!• Developed the concept that the brain controls the
muscles and that there where cranial and peripheral nervous systems
*of monkeys – human dissection not allowed

Physiology – It’s Roots
• Not much happened until…– Vesalius (1514 - 1564) was an anatomist and
physician• Did extensive human dissection
– Published the premier book on human anatomy De humani corporis fabrica
– Corrected the error of Galens circulation pattern• However held onto the misconception that arteries and veins
carry different types of blood
– Fame led him to become the physician to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V

Physiology – It’s Roots
• William Harvey (1578 – 1657)– Correctly figured out systemic circulation and the
properties of blood and its pumping• Fixed a century old belief that blood only circulated
continuously in the lungs
– Figured out the function of venous valves– First to use quantitative analysis in study of human
function• Measured how much blood the heart pumped in a day (540
pounds) which then made Galen look silly. . . the liver would have to manufacture 540 pounds of blood each day!
– Was the personal physician to James I & Charles I

Physiology – It’s Roots
• Claude Bernard (1813 – 1878)– The first to establish scientific methodology in
medicine– Introduced experimental medicine and specifically
“blind studies” to ensure objectivity– Introduced “Milieu interieur” which was the initial
concept of homeostasis• “The constancy of the internal environment is the condition
for a free and independent life”• Furthered in the next century by William Bradford Canon

Physiology – It’s Roots
• Walter Bradford Cannon (1871 – 1945)– Chaired the Department of Physiology at
Harvard Medical School– Coined the term “fight or flight”– Did work with x-rays and different metals to
improve x-ray quality of bowels (today’s barium meal is a direct result)
– Given credit for concept of homeostasis, published it in 1932

• Organization
• Homeostasis & Controls
• Biological Energy
• Structure Function Relationships
• Communication

Homeostasis
• The maintenance of physiological parameters within the body/cell– “homeo” = similar or like– “stasis” = condition or state
• Provides a teleological answer to questions• Acts in a mechanistic way
– Components– Process– Types
![Page 12: Biology 235 Human Physiology Fall Semester, 2009](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1ffb0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Homeostasis• Components
– Receptor• Monitors the controlled condition• Creates input signal
– Control center • Processes input signal• Makes decision• Creates output signal
– Effector• Returns controlled condition to normal state in one of two ways

HomeostasisFunctional unit in
homeostasis
external change

change results in disruption of homeostasis
compensation for change is attempted (feedback processes)
compensation fails compensation succeeds

Homeostasis
• Types of homeostasis maintenance pathways– Negative Feedback Loop Mechanisms
• Common– Reverse the change in the regulated variable back to normal
• May be local or long distance– Require reflex pathways
– Positive Feedback Loop Mechanisms• Rare
– Enhances the stressor in a cascading effect until stressor is removed, causing regulated variable to return to normal
– Feedforward Controls• Aid in homeostatic processes by “anticipating” events, rather than
waiting for them to happen and then responding
![Page 15: Biology 235 Human Physiology Fall Semester, 2009](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e2f5503460f94b1ffb0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Homeostasis• Negative Feedback Control Example: blood Ca2+ levels
regulated variableblood levels of calcium
normal value 8.5 – 10.5 mg/dl
drop in blood levels of Ca2+
rise in blood levels of Ca2+
PTH secretion is stimulated
PTH secretion is inhibited
Vit D synthesis
Ca2+ release from bone
blood Ca2+ levels normalizeCa2+ uptake
in GI tract
Ca2+ reabsorption

Homeostasis• positive feed back control example: childbirth (parturition)
regulated variablefemale reproductive tract
change
End of term fetus, uterus contracts, increases pressure on the cervix
pressure causes release of oxytocin
Oxytocin causes increased contraction of the uterus & relaxation of cervix
Process continues until the cervix is dilated enough and the uterus contractions expel the fetus
