PHSL 201 - Human Physiology | Study Guide

Overview
A physiology guide on cardiac output, blood pressure control, gas exchange, ventilation, and integrated homeostatic regulation.

Key topics
•cardiac output and pressure
•baroreceptor control
•ventilation and gas exchange
•integrated feedback

Suggested study tasks
•trace one blood-pressure compensation path
•compare oxygen and carbon dioxide transport
•connect ventilation changes to pH shifts

Common pitfalls
•memorizing variables without mechanism
•forgetting how systems compensate across more than one organ
