Quotes About Physiology

Physically, a man is a man for a much longer time than a woman is a woman.

Women are much more sensitive. We know that emotionally but their organs respond to the same degree.

Topologically, men and women are identical. Some things are just larger and more developed in one than the other and positioned differently.

Men never feel quite the same about a woman's body once they know it's done that thing: widened and torn to push out a baby's head.

What we feel and think and are is to a great extent determined by the state of our ductless glands and viscera.

What is the heart but a spring, and the nerves but so many strings, and the joints but so many wheels, giving motion to the whole body?

bodies, we have never met face-to-face with our kidneys, how we wouldn't recognize our own liver in a row of livers, how we have never seen our own heart or brain.

Brains are notoriously selfish organs. They give themselves priority access to everything they require—from blood-flow to warmth, nutrients and oxygen. During times of bodily stress, our brains will shut down one organ after another, even to the point of damaging them—before depriving themselves. Brains are also greedy. They make up just 2 per cent of our body weight, yet take 20 per cent of the energy we use.

I have a huge rib cage, which is why I can hold a note out until I'm blue in the face... because I have such a big lung capacity.

Biology sets the context, and that is critical, but obesity still boils down to whether a person eats too much or exercises enough.

What a fuss people make about fidelity! exclaimed Lord Henry. Why, even in love it is purely a question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.

I'd never been a tall guy, and the girls I'd dated had all been my height--teenaged girls grow faster than guys, which is a cruel trick of nature.

The real reason to exercise is to change your body's chemistry, not to burn a lot of calories.

One's-Self I Sing One's-self I sing, a simple separate person, Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse. Of physiology from top to toe I sing, Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I say the Form complete is worthier far, The Female equally with the Male I sing. Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power, Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine, The Modern Man I sing.

Of the human form especially, it is so great it must never be made ridiculous . . . Exaggerations will be revenged in human physiology.

En otros movimientos de los labios participan músculos distintos, como los «que llevan los labios a un punto; otros que los aplastan, otros que los vuelven hacia atrás; otros que los enderezan; otros que los tuercen y otros, al final, que los devuelven a su primera posición».

The earliest and most dramatic changes in maternal physiology are cardiovascular. These changes improve fetal oxygenation and nutrition.

In the first half of pregnancy, cardiac output rises as a result of increased stroke volume and, in the latter half of pregnancy, as a result of increased maternal heart rate, whereas the stroke volume returns to near-normal, nonpregnant levels. These

Pregnancy is associated with an increase in total body oxygen consumption of approximately 50 mL O2/minute, which is 20% greater than nonpregnant levels.

During pregnancy, arterial blood pressure follows a typical pattern. When measured in the sitting or standing position, diastolic blood pressure decreases beginning in the 7th week of gestation and reaches a maximal decline of 10 mm Hg from 24 to 26 weeks. Blood

Physiologic changes in blood pressure in midpregnancy may be misunderstood as hypotension unless allowance for gestational age is made.

Measured blood pressure is highest when a pregnant woman is seated, somewhat lower when supine, and lowest while lying on the side.

There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. As well speak of a female liver.
