the late 1800s 1920-1950s Phase of classic physiology research 1950-1980 Phase of biochemical discoveries: DNA, Enzymes, Receptors, Hormones, etc. 1980-present Transgenics, cloning, knock-outs, xenotransplantation, and much more. Homeostasis The tendency of organisms to regulate and maintain relative internal stability Claude Bernard (1872) The milieu interieur Constancy of the internal environment is the
condition of life Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945) Sympathetic flight or fight response Homeostasis Feedback and Control Negative feedback systems and loops Positive feedback systems and loops Conformers and regulators Negative Feedback Negative Feedback Disturbance Controlled Output
