It's obviously a complex machine. Think about some other, more familiar machines, such as power drills, washing machines, and lawn mowers. Each machine consists of many parts, and each part does a specific job, yet all the parts work together to perform certain functions.

Human physiology is the scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body and the ways in which they work together to support the functions of life.

It reveals that breathing patterns significantly change when inhaling a 92% oxygen and 8% carbon dioxide mix, while pure air or 100% oxygen has minimal effects. The discussion highlights carbon dioxide's critical role in stimulating ventilation and the carotid body's sensitivity to low oxygen levels at high altitudes.

Students explore blood glucose regulation, kidney functions, and gas exchange in lungs through simulations and urinalysis. The text details kidney filtration processes, urine production, and assessments of kidney health via urinalysis, including case studies. Additionally, it addresses lung anatomy and respiration, incorporating BMI for body composition analysis.
