| 520 | |a This text explores how component behavior produces system behavior in physiological systems. Through text explanation, figures, and equations it provides the engineering student with a basic understanding of physiological principles with an emphasis on quantitative aspects. Geared to undergraduate students who are less familiar with biological concepts but who have successfully completed typical first-year engineering mathematics, including differential and integral calculus and some differential equations. A quantitative approach that includes physical and chemical princ. | ||

| 505 | 8 | |a AcknowledgmentsUNIT 1 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PHYSIOLOGY; 1.1 The Core Principles of Physiology; Human Physiology Is the Integrated Study of the Normal Function of the Human Body; Organ Systems Work Together to Produce Overall Body Behavior; Reductionism Explains Something on the Basis of its Parts; Physiological Systems Are Part of a Hierarchy of Levels of Organization; Reductionism Is an Experimental Procedure; Reconstitution Is a Theoretical Procedure; Holism Proposes that the Behavior of the Parts Is Altered by Their Context in the Whole. | |
| 505 | 8 | |a Physiological Systems Operate at Multiple Levels of Organization SimultaneouslyCells Are the Organizational Unit of Life; The Cell Theory Is a Unifying Principle of Biology; Cells Within the Body Show a Multitude of Forms; The Diversity of Cells in the Body Derives from Differential Expression of the Genome; The Concept of Homeostasis Is a Central Theme of Physiology; Extracellular Fluid Surrounds All Somatic Cells; The Body Consists of Causal Mechanisms That Obey the Laws of Physics and Chemistry; Aristotle (384-322 bc) Posited Four Different Kinds of Causality. | |
| 505 | 8 | |a Teleology Is an Explanation in Reference to a Final CauseLiving Things Combine the Four Aristotelian Causes; Human Beings Are Not Machines, But Still Obey Physical Law; Is There a Ghost in the Machine?; Evolution Is an Efficient Cause of the Human Body Working Over Long Time Scales; Evolution Was Postulated to Explain the Diversity of Life Forms; Evolution Results from Cause and Effect Summed Over Long Time Periods; Evolution Works on Preexisting Forms; The Pace of Evolution Suggests Regulation of the Genome Is a Fast Track for Change; Comparative Genomics Reveals Pedigree. | |
| 505 | 8 | |a Evolution Tailors the Phenotype to the EcosystemEvolution Helps Little in Explaining the Normal Function of the Body; Living Beings Transform Energy and Matter; Function Follows Form; Coordinated Command and Control Requires Signaling at All Levels of Organization; Many Control Systems of the Body Use Negative Feedback Loops; Anticipatory or Feed-Forward Control Avoids Wide Swings in Controlled Parameters; Developmental and Threshold Control Mechanisms Regulated Noncyclical and Cyclical Physiological Systems; Physiology Is a Quantitative Science; Summary; Review Questions. | |
