Pages: 4In Lecture 16, we discuss the mechanics of the respiratory system and how certain changes in volume and pressure can affect it. Furthermore, we elaborate on the structures of the respiratory system and disorders involved. -
Pages: 2In Lecture 15, the circulation of the heart is discuss in detail. Furthermore, problems associating with poor circulation are also discussed. -
Pages: 3In Lecture 14, we continue our discussion on the control of pressure and flow. We elaborate by relating what happens in the body as the pressure and flow are increased or decreased. Furthermore, we slightly discuss the pulmonary system's blood flow. -
Pages: 3In Lecture 13, we discuss the mechanics of pressure and flow by introducing Ohm's Law, the Flow Equation, etc.. The circulation system is also discussed briefly. -
Pages: 2Lecture 12 discusses the mechanical working of the heart by describing the blood flow through the heart's four chambers. -
Pages: 3Lecture 11 reviews the different types of muscle and focuses on the cardiac muscle. -
Pages: 2In Lecture 10, we discuss the muscle cells along with the classification of muscles. A basis of muscle physiology is also discussed. -
Pages: 11The following study guide includes comprehensive notes from the 9 lectures given so far. The important concepts and terms are taken from each lecture and put into the guide. -
Pages: 2In Lecture 9, we discuss the neurons involved in the somatic and autonomic nervous system. We also discuss the neurotoxins related to these systems. -
Pages: 3In Lecture 8, we discuss the peripheral nervous system dealing with afference. We discuss the parts of the peripheral nervous system and the receptors involved along with their jobs. -
Pages: 3In Lecture 7, we continue our discussion about the CNS and the different components in it. However, we also discuss the results of damage to certain areas in the CNS. -
Pages: 4Lecture 6 introduces the central nervous system and the components that it contains. -
Pages: 3Lecture 5 continues the discussion on the nervous system cell's structure. In this lecture, we elaborate on how action potential works, the different types of neurons, and the introduction of neurotransmitters. -
Pages: 3This lecture introduces the nervous system and focuses in depth about the 2 basic types of cells in the nervous system: glia cells and neurons. -
Pages: 2Lecture 3 discusses the process of diffusion using water. In this lecture, active transport and the mechanism of osmosis is presented in detail. -
Pages: 3Lecture 2 focuses on the how cells can be studied, the fluids associated with cells, and how large/small molecules diffuse. -
Pages: 3Lecture 2 focuses on the how cells can be studied, the fluids associated with cells, and how large/small molecules diffuse. -
Pages: 2Lecture 1 Notes introduces physiology and one of the most essential mechanisms pertaining to it: homeostasis. Lecture 1 was a brief introduction into the course.
