MEDICAL EDUCATION
 Medical education, course of study directed toward imparting to
persons seeking to become physicians the knowledge and skills
required for the prevention and treatment of disease.
 It also develops the methods and objectives appropriate to the study
of the still unknown factors that produce disease or favor well-
being.
 The goal of medical education is the production of physicians
PHYSIOLOGY
DEFINITION
 Physiology is the science of studying
the functional activities and its
mechanism in biological body.
 Physiology derived from two Greek
words –
physis – nature
logos - study
OBJECTIVE
 To know the normal functioning of tissues/ organs as a basis in knowing
what is normal.
 Study and recognize the normal functions of the different organs
systems of the body.
 Apply and corelate physiology with diseased conditions.
(Applied Physiology).
 Gain additional knowledge by means of research and experimentation
e.g. Laboratory
OUTCOME OF PHYSIOLOGY
 The broad goal of the teaching physiology is to provide comprehensive knowledge of
normal functioning of organ systems of the body to students.
 This facilitates an understanding of the physiological basis of health and diseases and
helps students in learning medicine.
 It plays the central role in the medical sciences, integrating from the molecular and
cellular levels through to the whole tissue and organs to understand whole body function.
 It is the foundation upon which we build our knowledge of what "life" is, how to treat
disease, and how to cope with stresses imposed upon our bodies by different
environments.

Area of Expertise / Benefits
 In human physiology it is attempt to explain the
specific characteristics and mechanisms of the
human body that makes it a living being.
 The very fact that we remain alive is almost
beyond our control, for hunger makes us seek food.
Sensations of cold make us look for warmth. Other
forces cause us to seek fellowship and to
reproduce.
 Thus the human being is actually an automaton, and the
fact that we are sensing, feeling and knowledgeable
beings is part of this automatic sequence of life; these
special attributes allow us to exist under widely varying
conditions. (Gutyon and Hall )
 Meaning of kriya
One who has accomplished any act.
One who has fulfilled his duty.
व्युत्पत्ति (Derivation) :
क्रिया :- कृ- भावे कश्चादौ वा यथायथं च !
(शब्दकल्पद्रुम)
Root verb in this word is “ ”
कृ meaning is to do
whether the act could be good or bad ; but
any ‘doing’ is called क्रिया .
Function, kriya or karma is physical
as well as psychological so both
types of functions are related to
living body.
“ When all these function are related
to living body these function are
called SHAREERA KRIYA .”

General Physiology : Homeostasis
 Homeostasis’ refers to the maintenance of constant internal
environment of the body (homeo = same; stasis = standing).
 Importance of internal environment was notified by the great biologist
of 19th century Claude Bernard. He enlightened the fact that
multicellular organisms including man live in a perfectly organized
and controlled internal environment, which he called ‘milieu interieur’.
 The word ‘homeostasis’ was introduced by Harvard Professor,
Walter B Cannon in 1930.

 Adequate amount of oxygen should be made
available to the cells for the metabolism of
the nutrients. Simultaneously, the carbon
dioxide and other metabolic end products
must be removed. Respiratory system is
concerned with the supply of oxygen and
removal of carbon dioxide. Kidneys and
other excretory organs are involved in the
excretion of waste products.
 Nutrients are essential for various activities of the cell and growth of the
tissues. These substances also form the source of energy required for various
activities of the cells. Nutrients must be digested, absorbed into the blood and
supplied to the cells. Digestive system and circulatory system play major
roles in the supply of nutrients.
 Vit B12 , Folic acid
Central nervous system
Brain integrates and
interprets the pros and
cons of these information
and commands the body
to act accordingly
through motor system so
that, the body can avoid
the damage.
BODY FLUID BALANCE – WATER BALANCE
 One of the most common cause of death in the world is diarrhoea
illness in infants and children. This disease can be treated and the
victims rescued from certain death with simple oral rehydration
solutions based on fundamental principles of physiological regulation
of fluid and electrolyte balance along with gastrointestinal and renal
physiology.
 DEHYDRATION Fluid Imbalance

Polycythaemia :
Physiology Pathology

14 million per

High Altitude Malignancy of
Red Bone marrow
Stimulation of
Kidney
No stimulation of
kidney
Digestive system : Salivary Gland
HYPOSALIVATION
Reduction in the secretion of saliva is called
hyposalivation.
1. Temporary hyposalivation occurs in:
i. Emotional conditions like fear.
ii. Fever.
iii. Dehydration.
2. Permanent hyposalivation occurs in:
i. Sialolithiasis (obstruction of salivary duct).
ii. Bell palsy (paralysis of facial nerve).
 GASTRITIS : Inflammation of gastric
mucosa is called gastritis.
 ZOLLINGER-ELLISON SYNDROME is
characterized by secretion of excess
hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This
disorder is caused by tumor of pancreas.
Pancreatic tumor produces a large quantity of
gastrin. Gastrin increases the hydrochloric
acid secretion in stomach by stimulating the
parietal cells of gastric glands.
Renal Physiology
 Excretion of waste products
 Maintenance of electrolyte, water balance ,
acid base balance.
 HEMOPOIETIC FUNCTION : Kidneys
stimulate the production of erythrocytes by
secreting erythropoietin.
 ENDOCRINE FUNCTION :
i. Erythropoietin
ii. Thrombopoietin
iii. Renin
iv. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol
(calcitriol)
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
 First and second heart sounds are called classical heart sounds and are heard with a
stethoscope.
 They resemble the words LUB and DUB respectively
 Third heart sound is mild and not heard in normal conditions through a stethoscope
but heard by a microphone.
 Fourth heart sound is inaudible. Audible only in any pathological conditions. This
can be studied through phonocardiogram
 It is very important as a diagnostic tool for various cardiac diseases
involving heart valves
MURMUR
 Cardiac murmur is the abnormal or unusual heart sound.
 It is also called abnormal heart sound or cardiac bruit.
 Cardiac murmur is heard by stethoscope, along with normal
heart sounds.
 Cardiac murmur is heard by placing chest piece of
stethoscope over the auscultatory areas.
 Murmur due to disease of a particular valve is heard well over
the auscultatory area of that valve.
Cardiac Output
CONCLUSION
 Physiology is an experimental scientific discipline and is of central
importance in medicine and related health sciences.
 It provides a thorough understanding of normal body function,
enabling more effective treatment of abnormal or disease states.
 Base or root for all Medical Subjects.
 Physiology explores the complexity of life as it interacts with the
surrounding environment.
 We are only beginning to understand the complex interaction between
the environment and our genetics, and how this interaction impacts our
daily and future lives.
 Events that occur early in our lives can mold our future development
and change how we respond to the environment or our susceptibility to
disease.
 What marvelous complexity we explore as physiologists, unraveling
the mysteries of life–this is too much fun to be work!
