A physiologist asks

• How do things work in the human body?
• How is stability achieved?
• What are the causes and consequences of
  disruptions of stability?
• Physicians ask How can stability be restored?
• How do we know whats going on inside the body?

3
Theme of this course

• Homeostasis

First Demonstration for Bio 342 Human Physiology

• Listen carefully to the music and to how it is
  interpreted
• Observe the human body in action during the
  performance of the piece
• Consider the activity of cells, tissues, and
  organs in the musicians

General Course Objectives

• 1. To develop a basic understanding of the
  principles of physiology, with an emphasis on
  homeostatic mechanisms and negative feedback
  control.
• 2. To develop an appreciation for the
  experimental basis of our knowledge of
  physiology.
• 3. To sharpen laboratory skills with exercises
  that require forethought, planning, and
  refinement.

8
General Course Objectives

• 4. To organize and analyze information so as to
  develop critical thinking skills.
• 5. To write concisely in the form of scientific
  abstracts.
• 6. To communicate effectively in oral form.

Study Questions Quizzes

• Rationale for this format
• See what Dr. Davis thinks you ought to emphasize
• Writing helps to consolidate memory and recall
• Greater effort results in better retention and
  understanding
• Students are not passive learners
• Able to cover more information

• Improve MCAT, DCAT and GRE scores

The Human BodyA Society of Cells

• Imagine you are a cell. Ask yourself
• How did I get here? 
• What do I do for myself? (What are my special
  characteristics and functions?) 
• What do I do for the person in whom I reside?
  (What are my contributions to the whole organism?
  To homeostasis?) 
• What do I need simply to survive?
• What do the other cells provide for me that I
  cannot obtain alone?
• What governs my actions? 
• How long will I live?
• Can I be replaced? If so, how?
• What would happen to the organism if I along with
  all the other cells of my type were to fail to
  function properly?
