Quotes About Physiology

We're entering a bionic era where we actually are beginning to see technology that's sophisticated enough to emulate key physiological functions.

(The mind's) dynamics transcend the time and space of brain physiology.

His pale skin turned a greenish cast. A verbal kick in the nuts did that to a man.' (Carlos)

The demands of standing, walking, and running have literally shaped the entire human body from head to toe.

Far more calories are used to heat the body than to move it.

The nervous system is composed of three major parts: the sensory input portion, the central nervous system (or integrative portion), and the motor output portion.

thyroid hormone increases the rates of most chemical reactions in all cells, thus helping to set the tempo of bodily activity.

The nervous system regulates many muscular and secretory activities of the body, whereas the hormonal system regulates many metabolic functions. The nervous and hormonal systems normally work together in a coordinated manner to control essentially all of the organ systems of the body.

The science of human physiology attempts to explain the specific characteristics and mechanisms of the human body that make it a living being.

TMS is a strategy of the brain to keep unpleasant thoughts and emotions from rising from the unconscious into the conscious mind. The brain, through established physiologic pathways, creates pain as a distraction. By focusing our attention on physical symptoms, we keep these painful thoughts and emotions repressed. This is a very effective strategy, as there is an absolute epidemic of mindbody disorders in our society.

The pertinent bias here is that these common pain syndromes must be the result of structural abnormalities of the spine or chemically or mechanically induced deficiencies of muscle. Of equal importance is another bias held by conventional medicine that emotions do not induce physiologic change. Experience with TMS contradicts both biases. The disorder is a benign (though painful) physiologic aberration of soft tissue (not the spine), and it is caused

Of equal importance is another bias held by conventional medicine that emotions do not induce physiologic change. Experience with TMS contradicts both biases. The disorder is a benign (though painful) physiologic aberration of soft tissue (not the spine), and it is caused by an emotional process.

What we have yet to discover, and it is probably beyond our mental horizons to do so at this time, is how emotional phenomena can stimulate physiologic ones.

The idea that people think with their hearts describes physiology in ancient terms for the communication of other matters; it is not revelation concerning physiology. Consequently we need not try to come up with a physiology for our times that would explain how people think with their entrails. But a serious concordist would have to do so to save the reputation of the Bible. Concordists believe the Bible must agree—be in concord with—all the findings of contemporary science.

Some physiologists will have it that the stomach is a mill; others, that it is a fermenting vat; others, again that it is a stew-pan; but in my view of the matter, it is neither a mill, a fermenting vat nor a stew-pan, but a stomach gentlemen, a stomach.

Over the long term, however, too much adrenaline produces scarring on the insides of your blood vessels. These scars become magnets for molecules to accumulate, creating lumps called plaques. These can grow large enough to block the blood vessels. If it happens in the blood vessels of your heart, you get a heart attack; in your brain, you get a stroke.

The more you exercise, the more tissues you can feed and the more toxic waste you can remove.

Angelo," he said, and felt the bed rock as Angelo shuddered, caught halfway between REM atonia - the inhibition of movement caused by the shutdown of monoamines in the brain - and waking.

Fortunately, in partial gravity, one-handed push-ups aren't as hard as they are planet-side.

Medicine considers the human body as to the means by which it is cured and by which it is driven away from health.

Every cell in our body is primarily water. But the water doesn't just sit in the cell, it moves through it in a very organized way. The process occurs rapidly in tissues that have these aquaporins or water channels.

In space, you need to exercise your heart since it's not pumping blood around at the same rate.

Muscles do not use oxygen at a constant rate.
