INTRODUCTION TO PHYSIOLOGY AND HOMEOSTATIS PHYSIOLOGY 1.1 Intro to Physiology Physiology: the study of the functions of living things‚ how the human body works Two approaches explain the events that occur in body -purpose of the body process - mechanism in which the process occurs Physiologists view the body as a machine whose mechanisms of action can explained in terms of cause and effect sequences of physical and chemical processes. Physiology is closely related to anatomy: the

data using a mouse model of osteogenic sarcoma‚ a deadly bone malignancy. Turns out that in mice‚ Notch 1 intracellular domain induces bone tumors 100% penetrance‚ and it seems as though osteosarcoma in mice initiated by Notch activation mimics the human disease. Dr. Brendan Lee‚ the corresponding author of the report‚ says that "This is the first example of Notch1 driving this type of cancer. Our study supports the hypothesis that Notch activating mutations can act as a common triggering mechanism

Lab 9 Report: Exercise Physiology Introduction When the human body is put to work and undergoes any sort of activity‚ it requires more energy and resources in order to sustain this. The cells in muscles and organs must work faster‚ and thus require more energy to do so. The body compensates by increasing heart rate and respiration in order to increase the amount of oxygen entering‚ carbon dioxide leaving‚ and rate at which these gases are delivered to cells throughout the body. In this lab‚ we
