Please note the above listed JustPhysiology simulated labs are for instructional use only, please submit a request to robert@justphysiology.org if interested in distributing these resources for use by individual students.
Core Physiology Concept Lessons
Autonomic Nervous System Case Studies
Core Concepts of Physiology
- Cell Signaling—Learn how cells conduct trillions of players using chemical messengers, electrical pulses, and intimate handshakes. Grasp the three major pathways and five governing principles of cell signaling.
- Transport Across Membranes—Dive into mechanisms regulating movement across the plasma membrane and learn how cells control their internal environment by managing transport.
- Cell Membranes—Get close-up with the master architects of cellular life: cell membranes. Learn how their lipids, proteins, and domains craft a dynamic interface, enabling communication, transport, and the delicate equilibrium of homeostasis.
Autonomic Neuroscience
- Autonomic Nervous System—Explore the autonomic nervous system (ANS), its divisions (sympathetic & parasympathetic), key neurotransmitters, and
CNS control. Dive into how the ANS governs diverse functions from heartbeat to digestion.
Homeostasis
- Water Homeostasis—Explore hydration, kidney mechanisms, and hormone control, revealing how your body maintains the perfect watery balance.
- Potassium Homeostasis—Master the delicate dance of this crucial electrolyte: its role in nerves, muscles, and more, how it moves across cell walls, and the kidney's key role in keeping it all balanced.
- Sodium Homeostasis—Unravel the intricate mechanisms regulating sodium, the king of electrolytes. Explore its reabsorption in the kidney's labyrinths, the internal messengers orchestrating the process, and the external forces playing their part. Demystify blood pressure control, organ perfusion, and cardiac output, all in the delicate dance of sodium balance
