• Contents: Front Cover; Contents in Brief; Title Page; Copyright Page; About the Author; Dedication; Acknowledgments; Contents; UNIT 1 Basic Cell Processes: Integration and Coordination; Chapter 1: Introduction to Physiology; Physiology Is an Integrative Science; RUNNING PROBLEM What to Believe?; Emerging Concepts The Changing World of Omics; Function and Mechanism; Themes in Physiology; Focus on ... Mapping; Theme 1: Structure and Function Are Closely Related; Theme 2: Living Organisms Need Energy; Theme 3: Information Flow Coordinates Body Functions; Theme 4: Homeostasis Maintains Internal Stability. HomeostasisWhat Is the Body's Internal Environment?; Homeostasis Depends on Mass Balance; Excretion Clears Substances from the Body; Homeostasis Does Not Mean Equilibrium; Control Systems and Homeostasis; Local Control Is Restricted to a Tissue; Reflex Control Uses Long-Distance Signaling; Response Loops Begin with a Stimulus; Feedback Loops Modulate the Response Loop; Negative Feedback Loops Are Homeostatic; Positive Feedback Loops Are Not Homeostatic; Feedforward Control Allows the Body to Anticipate Change; Biological Rhythms Result from Changes in a Setpoint; The Science of Physiology. Good Scientific Experiments Must Be Carefully DesignedFocus on ... Graphing; The Results of Human Experiments Can Be Difficult to Interpret; CHAPTER SUMMARY; REVIEW QUESTIONS; Chapter 2: Molecular Interactions; RUNNING PROBLEM Chromium Supplements; Molecules and Bonds; Most Biomolecules Contain Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen; Electrons Have Four Important Biological Roles; Covalent Bonds between Atoms Create Molecules; Noncovalent Bonds Facilitate Reversible Interactions; Noncovalent Interactions; Hydrophilic Interactions Create Biological Solutions. Molecular Shape Is Related to Molecular FunctionHydrogen Ions in Solution Can Alter Molecular Shape; Protein Interactions; Proteins Are Selective about the Molecules They Bind; Protein-Binding Reactions Are Reversible; Binding Reactions Obey the Law of Mass Action; The Dissociation Constant Indicates Affinity; Multiple Factors Alter Protein Binding; The Body Regulates the Amount of Protein in Cells; Reaction Rate Can Reach a Maximum; CHAPTER SUMMARY; REVIEW QUESTIONS; Chapter 3: Compartmentation: Cells and Tissues; RUNNING PROBLEM Pap Tests Save Lives; Functional Compartments of the Body. The Lumens of Some Organs Are Outside the BodyFunctionally, the Body Has Three Fluid Compartments; Biological Membranes; The Cell Membrane Separates Cell from Environment; Membranes Are Mostly Lipid and Protein; Membrane Lipids Create a Hydrophobic Barrier; Membrane Proteins May Be Loosely or Tightly Bound to the Membrane; Membrane Carbohydrates Attach to Both Lipids and Proteins; Intracellular Compartments; Cells Are Divided into Compartments; The Cytoplasm Includes Cytosol, Inclusions, Fibers, and Organelles; Inclusions Are in Direct Contact with the Cytosol.
