Hello. This is Nada from Seito Medical School. I think it would be great if everyone could start learning about medical physiology from here.
In addition to physiology, medicine includes basic medical sciences such as anatomy and biochemistry. Physiology is the science that explains how the human body works. Anatomy, on the other hand, understands the structure of the body, and biochemistry studies the physical underpinnings of the body. In biochemistry, a state of no change is an important concept, and one of these concepts is "homeostasis." This is a combination of two words: ``similar homeo'' and ``stasis.'' In other words, it is in a similar state of stasis, that is, without change. I also don't quite understand what "similar" refers to here, so I would like to study this as one of my future tasks.
Physiology is known as the science of "integration." One way of thinking in physiology is to analyze biological functions one by one at the cellular and molecular level. Of course, even if we can understand the movements of individual cells, we still need to be able to analyze the entire tissue, such as the integrated system of the brain. This is ``See the forest, not the trees!'' and refers to the fact that individual cells and the whole organ function differently.
Another concept in biology is feedback. If we are office workers and are doing our jobs, feedback means our boss's evaluation of our work. your boss will say. "You're an excellent person, but it's unfortunate that you're so biased. Something simple is more valuable than something complicated."
The biological feedback referred to here can be said to be negative feedback that returns an abnormal value to a normal value, and positive feedback that raises an abnormal value to an even more abnormal value. There must be a reason why the outliers are getting bigger and bigger. This raises the question of whether the body is really providing negative feedback that increases abnormal values even further. By testing flasks in a laboratory, it is possible that something that would never occur in the body may occur. This is also a point to be careful about whether the system is really the same as the system that occurs in the body.
There are also methodologies such as "experiment", which analyzes the phenomena that occur during the process from normal values to abnormal values, and "observation", which involves collective group analysis, such as comparison with a normal system or comparison based on the environment. Here, I would like to propose a method for finding commonalities between patients with the same symptoms.
In this way, as an introduction to physiology, I think it is correct to think about methodology. I want to say I wonder if I would want to study a difficult and difficult technical book if it came with a guide that anyone could understand. It would be great if I could explain the knowledge I learned in physiology in an easy-to-understand manner, but studying requires a purpose. I can introduce you to the specialized books I used as reference, but I have no intention of becoming a doctor, but if you want to know what kind of medical knowledge, that is, the knowledge of what you learn in medical school, I will be at the door. I would like to be the person in charge of receiving tickets.
Why is studying necessary? This is because when you have a chance to stand in a place where that knowledge is required, you will be at the bare minimum. If you were to ask me why I study medicine, I would humbly answer that it is because I want to create new treatments. See you soon.
