The Human Physiology
Physiology is the study of how living organisms function. Thus, human physiology deals specifically with the physiological attributes of the human body at various levels of organization, i.e. from cellular to tissue and ultimately, physiology at the biological system level. Human physiology is important because it imparts an in-depth understanding of the vital processes that..
Physiological Homeostasis
Homeostasis is essential to maintain conditions within the tolerable limits. Otherwise, the body will fail to function properly. The body does this through feedback control mechanisms, e.g. blood sugar level regulation and temperature regulation. Read this tutorial to know more about the principles of negative feedback control employed by the body to sustain homeostasis...
