Nobel Prize (1895): in Physiology or Medicine Schemes were prepared by Servisní středisko pro e-learning na MU http://is.muni.cz/stech/ Life is a dynamic system with focused behavior, with autoreproduction, characterized by flow of substrates, energies and information. PHYSIOLOGY •Science about living systems (Fernel, 1642) •Experimental science (W. Harvey, 1643; C. Bernard, J.E. Purkyně) Aims of the course: 1. Learn the terms 2. Learn basic facts 3. Understand functional relations 4. Understand clinical consequences BIOFYSICS BIOCHEMISTRY BIOLOGY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY PHYSIOLOGY PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FUNCTIONAL CLINICAL PREVENTIVE PHARMACOLOGY DIAGNOSTICS SUBJECTS MEDICINE Teaching forms – lecture, seminar, demonstration, practical (lab) PHYSIOLOGY – science about functions (dynamics) • General • Special • Comparative • Evolutional • Applied medical normal (normative) pathological clinical • FUNCTIONAL ORGANISATION OF THE BODY • EXCHANGE AND TRANSPORT OF COMPOUNDS • INTERCELLULAR CONTACTS AND SIGNALLING Functions are studied at 5 levels: molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organism STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF CELL, ORGANELLES Molecular biology of the cell.

PO4 PASSIVE TRANSPORT MECHANISMS Differences in body fluids composition result from features of barriers and forces responsible for transport. DIFUSION Transport of gases, substrates, metabolites (up to m.w. 60 thous. in direction of concentration gradient of diluted compound. It depends on solubility in water and lipids. OSMOSIS Transport of water across semipermeable membrane in direction to higher concentration of diluted compound (e.g. in direction to lower concentration of water). It depends on number of particles. Examples: ……….. FILTRATION Movement of solvent as a result of osmotic and hydrostatic pressure. Production and resorption of interstitial fluid (Starling forces). REGULATED TRANSPORTS COTRANSPORT transported compound uses concentration gradient of Na+ as the driving force FACILITATED DIFUSION selective carrier limited capacity amino acids phosphate SYMPORT in the same direction ANTIPORT in opposite direction glucose, AMK Ca2+, H+ Na+/K+ ATP-ase (exchanger) Similar transports: •Ca2+/H+ •Na+/K+ •K+/H+ •Na+/H+ AGAINST concentration gradient ACTIVE TRANSPORTS ligand hydrophilic glycocalyx ion hydrophobic I – integral protein R – receptor E – enzyme K – channel P – pump (ATP-ase) Membrane molecules Protein molecules PLASMATIC MEMBRANE IONIC CHANNEL Molecular biology of the cell.

Living systems – open systems; their existence depends on flow of energy and substances between organism and environment in both directions. Appears at all levels of system (cell – whole organism). ASSOCIATION OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF REGULATION Systemic regulation – nervous and humoral Local regulation (metabolic) – chemical – pO2, pCO2, pH, prostaglandins Autoregulation myogenic –constant blood flow during changing perfusion pressure in the heart – homeometric and heterometric DISTURBANCES IN BODY FLUIDS • Communication with surroundings lungs, GIT, kidneys, skin • Internal sources of instability metabolism Extracellular fluids represent transport systems BASIC TYPES OF FEEDBACK SERIAL PARALLEL NEGATIVE DIRECT NEGATIVE INDIRECT FEEDBACK NEGATIVE POSITIVE Deviation from desired value oscillates or continuously increases.
