Human Physiology notes

A summary of the main principles of our endocrine system including the role of the pancreas, adrenal glands, thyroid gland and the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus

A summary of the notes on the lecture 'Principles of endocrine control', including the role of the hypothalamus, the types of signal transduction and the modes of cell signalling.

A summary of the notes from the lectures covering the structure of the central nervous system (CNS) and how neurotransmitters work within the CNS.

A summary of the notes on cardiac structure and function including cardiac action potentials (APs), the tissue layers within the heart and the factors affecting cardiac output and contractility.

A summary of the notes on the lectures regarding the lungs and the respiratory system, including notes on how faults in aspects like compliance and resistance within the lungs can lead to disease. Notes include: - alveolar interdependence - inspiration - expiration -lung structure - pleura - ventilation-perfusion matching

An overview of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) lectures as part of the physiology module. Covers the structure of the PNS, its various receptors and the ways in which signals are sent across the body in pre- and post-ganglionic fibres.

A summary of the lectures on the hormonal control of the menstrual cycle: - the phases of the menstrual cycle - negative feedback and positive feedback of various hormones regulating the phases of the menstrual cycle
