STUDY AND REVIEW 1: HOMEOSTASIS: A FRAMEWORK FOR HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY STUDY AND REVIEW 1.1 â–  Physiology: study of the functions of the body parts â–  Pathophysiology: study of disease states (physiological dysfunction) Review Question: Distinguish between anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. How are they related? STUDY AND REVIEW 1.2 â–  Cells: simplest structural units into which a complex multicellular organism can be divided and still retain the functions characteristic of life â–  Cell differentiation: formation of four general types of specialized cells ï‚· Muscle cells: generate the mechanical activities that produce force and movement; 3 types include skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells ï‚· Neurons: initiate and conduct electrical signals ï‚· Epithelial cells: form barriers and selectively secrete and absorb ions and organic molecules; basolateral surface rests on a basement membrane ï‚· Connective-tissue cells: connect, anchor, and support the structures of the body; form the extracellular matrix, which consists of fibers such as collagen and elastin â–  Tissues: aggregates of differentiated cells with similar properties; correspond to the four general types of specialized cells â–  Organs: composed of two or more of the four kinds of tissues ï‚· Many organs contain multiple, small, similar functional units. â–  Organ system: group of organs that perform an overall function Review Question: It is a simplification to refer
