2. "nature, origin“ "study of.”
Is the study of the function of living systems.
This includes how organisms, organs,
systems,, cells and biomolecules carry out the
chemical or physical functions that exist in a
living system.

no matter what particular is being
studied.
For example, what is learned about the
physiology of can also apply to
cells.

Egyptian physicians recognized the heart as
the source of blood vessels

10. THE METU
•The metu-essential to life and health
•Heart as key to concepts of anatomy and physiology.

11. •Imbalances within metu as a cause of pain
and illness.
•The 'metu' (pl.) 'met' (sing.) are a system of
channels or ducts in the body which the
Ancient Egyptians believed connected the
heart to other parts of the body.

12. The ancient Egyptians revolutionized the
world of medicine and laid a path and
framework for the advances in medicine
that exist in our world today.

14. Leonardo said : "The outstretched arms
and legs of a man form a square and a
circle:
-The square symbolizes the solid physical
world.
-The circle symbolizes the spiritual and
eternal world.
-Man bridges the gap between these two
worlds.

15. •Human Physiology dates back to at
least 420 BC., during the time of
Hippocrates.

16. •Held the belief that the body must
be treated as a whole and not just a
series of parts.
•He accurately described disease
symptoms and was the first physician
to accurately describe the symptoms
of pneumonia, as well as epilepsy in
children.

17. •He believed in the natural healing process of rest, a
good diet, fresh air and cleanliness.
• He noted that there were individual differences in the
severity of disease symptoms and that some individuals
were better able to cope with their disease and illness
than others.
•He was also the first physician that held the belief
that thoughts, ideas, and feelings come from the
brain and not the heart as others of his time
believed.

18. Between 380-322 B.C,
Aristotle began thinking
critically about the
relationship between
structure and function, which
marks the beginning of
the discipline of Physiology.

studied experimental physiology and his
theories dominated for over 1000 years.
He strongly promoted the practice of

21. During the Middle Ages, the ancient
Greek and Indian medical traditions
were further developed by Muslim
physicians, most notably
Avicenna (980-1037), who introduced

22. Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288).
During the Middle Ages many of the
ancient physiological doctrines
‫فلسفية‬ ‫معتقدات‬were eventually discredited
by Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288).

23. Following from the Middle Ages, the
Renaissance ( (‫النهضة‬ ‫عصر‬ a cultural
rebirth from the 14th through the middle
of the 17th centuries brought an increase
of physiological research in the Western
world that triggered the modern study of
anatomy and physiology.

Sertoli was an Italian physiologist and
histologist who was a native of Sondrio.

Sertoli later studied the structure of the
testicle and spermatogenesis.
