Bio 342
Human Physiology
A physiologist asks…
• How do things work in the human body?
– How is stability achieved?
– What are the causes and consequences of disruptions
of stability?
– Physicians ask “How can stability be restored?”
• How do we know what’s going on inside the body?

Study Questions & Quizzes
• Rationale for this format:
– See what Dr. Davis thinks you ought to emphasize
– Writing helps to consolidate memory and recall
– Greater effort results in better retention and
understanding
– Students are not passive learners
– Able to cover more information
Improve MCAT, DCAT and GRE scores

More stuff
• Arrive early for lecture and lab
• Pay attention (no cell phones, email,
Facebook, etc. during lecture or lab)
• Take notes on what is said….don’t wait for
boardwork.

The Human Body:
A Society of Cells
• Imagine you are a cell. Ask yourself:
• Which type of cell am I? (Epithelial, Connective, Nervous, or Muscle)
• What do I do for myself? (What are my special characteristics and
functions?)
• What do I do for the person in whom I reside? (What are my contributions
to the whole organism? To homeostasis?)
• What do I need simply to survive?
• In what ways to I depend on other cells?
• What governs my actions?
• How long will I live?
• What would happen to the organism if I along with all the other cells of my
type were to fail to function properly?
