Physiology ­ one of the most important branches of Biology. Concerns with the functions  characteristic of living organism. Physis = nature logos = science (1554, french physician Fernel) Independent science from 1749 (ditched from anatomy) human physiology = subject Physiological = normal (characteristic ­ structure, function, parameter) human physiology ­ does not describe just the body but explains the livung process, their  essence, reasons, relationships, conditions and development, serves complex idea about human  body and its functions. Dynamic and experimental subject.

Classification of physiology Special physiology ­ human ­ normal physiology ­ pathophysiology ­ clinical Physiology Physiology of: organs, systems, exercise, work, sport, nutrition, pregnancy, children, old age,  aviation, cosmic, stress, etc.

Subject matter of Physiology Functions ­ processes in ­ human organism (integrated whole ­ whole system works in harmony).  Systems, organs, tissues, cells/subcellular structure. ­ Specific human activities: abstract thinking, speech, wrighting, active work ... 1 Regulation of the functions ­ nervous mechanisms ­ reflex. Chemical: hormonal,  humoral. Local. 2 Internal relations ­ anatomical (vital systems), funcional (i.e endocrine glands). 3 External relations ­ organism and environment ­ quality, quantity, time, space. 4 Conditions ­ external ­ changeable, internal ­ constant ­ homeostasis. 5 Development of functions ­ postnatal, children age, adult, old age.

Physiological funcion Is the specific function of the definite structure, derivated from one of the basic property of the  living matter due the influence of external environment. External environment ­­> living matter ­­> Physiological function (specialization of cells).
