About PSL300HWhat to do well in the course?
• Read lectures slides before the lecture• Attend lectures and take additional notes• Review lectures within 48 hours, repeat
• Create summary diagrams or concept maps• Start to review for tests 2 weeks in advance & do
more than just re-reading your notes
Physiology forms the basis for all health professions – it is worth spending extra time on the course!

Two days in the life of Jill
Case Study
Jill is a 18-year old U of T student. She plans to go to medical school so she decides to practice with a sphygmomanometer that her parent recently purchased. On day 1, she wakes up, goes for a 5K run, skips breakfast, and determines that her blood pressure is 110/80 mmHg. The next day, she skips the run and drinks a glass of juice and has two cups of tea at breakfast. Her blood pressure is 112/80 mmHg. 1) What is the name of the principle demonstrated in this case? 2) How does the body maintain blood pressure? 3) How is the knowledge of the physiology blood pressure control used to treat individuals with high blood pressure?
What is physiology?
The science of how the body functions
Physiology spans from molecules to organisms
Physiology courses divided into organ systems

�the constancy of the internal environment�
Claude Bernard, 1880�s
�homeostasis�, regulation of the internal environment
Walter B. Cannon, 1929
A key aspect of physiology is homeostatis= The process of maintaining a constant internal environment despite changing conditions

Negative feedback for homeostasisPositive feedback for change
Negative feedback: e.g. regulation of blood pressure
Positive feedback: e.g. oxytocin and control of uterine contractions
Oxytocin release
Uterine contractions
Cervical stretch
Baby pushedagainst cervix
Baby drops
Feedback control
setpoint
Biological rhythms result from changes in a setpoint
Review question
Imagine a hormone that is released in response to low blood pressure and acts to reduce blood pressure. What is this an example of?
a) Positive feedback b) Negative feedback c) Feed forward control d) Neutral feedback
Establishing Homestasis
Cell-to-cell communication!1) Local communication
• Gap Junctions• Contact dependent• Local signaling
2) Long-distance communication• Endocrine signals• Neural signals
Maintaining homeostasis and other body functions requires intercellular communication
Spend one minute writing down what you know about Names of hormones
Where released fromFunctionsHow regulatedHow act on cells
What do you know already about the endocrine system?
Where are hormones produced?
Adipose tissue
How were many hormones identified?
• Remove gland and see effects• Replace gland or extract• Implant gland or extract to produce
excess• Purify extract and test for effect in biological
assay
