Physiology

Ancient Greek:

physis, "nature, origin“ logia, "study of.”

Is the study of the function of living systems.

This includes how organisms, organs,

systems,, cells and biomolecules carry out the

chemical or physical functions that exist in a

living system.

Physiology has traditionally been divided into

physiology and animal physiology

but the principles of physiology are universal,

no matter what particular organism is being

studied.

For example, what is learned about the

physiology of yeast cells can also apply to

human cells.

Paleolithic art from 40,000+ years ago

provide indirect evidence that primitive

humans observed the behavior of

animals.

Cave paintings portray herding

animals in groups, animal migration,

certain predators hunting in packs, and

solitary animals alone.

THE METU

• The metu-essential to life and health

• Heart as key to concepts of anatomy and physiology.

•Imbalances within metu as a cause of pain

and illness.

•The 'metu' (pl.) 'met' (sing.) are a system of

channels or ducts in the body which the

Ancient Egyptians believed connected the

heart to other parts of the body.

The ancient Egyptians revolutionized the

world of medicine and laid a path and

framework for the advances in medicine

that exist in our world today.

Leonardo said : "The outstretched arms and legs of a man form a square and a circle:

-The square symbolizes the solid physical world.

-The circle symbolizes the spiritual and eternal world.

-Man bridges the gap between these two worlds.

Early History of

Physiology

•Human Physiology dates back to at

least 420 BC., during the time of

Hippocrates.

Hippocrates •Held the belief that the body must

be treated as a whole and not just a

series of parts.

•He accurately described disease

symptoms and was the first physician

to accurately describe the symptoms

of pneumonia, as well as epilepsy in

children.

Hippocrates.

•He believed in the natural healing process of rest, a

good diet, fresh air and cleanliness.

• He noted that there were individual differences in the

severity of disease symptoms and that some individuals

were better able to cope with their disease and illness

than others.

•He was also the first physician that held the belief

that thoughts, ideas, and feelings come from the

brain and not the heart as others of his time

believed.

Between 380-322 B.C,

Aristotle began thinking

critically about the

relationship between

structure and function, which

marks the beginning of

the discipline of Physiology.

Aristotle 380-322 B.C

Aristotle 380-322 B.C

Early Experimental PhysiologyClaudius Galenus (126 – 199

AD)Galenus was the first investigator of

physiology as an experimentalist, he

studied experimental physiology and his

theories dominated for over 1000 years.

He strongly promoted the practice of

bloodletting ( الدم .to treat illness( فصد Galenus(126 – 199 AD)

Practice of bloodletting (( الدم فصد

During the Middle Ages, the ancient

Greek and Indian medical traditions

were further developed by Muslim

physicians, most notably

Avicenna (980-1037), who introduced

experimentation and quantification

into the study of physiology in

The Canon of Medicine.

Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288)

Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288).

During the Middle Ages many of the

ancient physiological doctrines

فلسفية were eventually discreditedمعتقدات

by Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288).

He is the First physician to correctly describe the anatomy of

the heart, the coronary circulation, the structure of the

lungs, and the pulmonary circulation.

He is considered the father of circulatory physiology.

Following from the Middle Ages, the

Renaissance (( النهضة a cultural عصر

rebirth from the 14th through the middle

of the 17th centuries brought an increase

of physiological research in the Western

world that triggered the modern study of

anatomy and physiology.

Renaissance

William Harvey 1578-1657

Anatomist William Harvey

described the circulatory system

in the 17th century, demonstrating

the fruitful combination of close

observations and careful experiments to

learn about the functions of the body, which

was fundamental to the development of

experimental physiology.

Herman Boerhaave(1668–1738)

Dutch) (هولنديphysician probably the

greatest medical and chemical

teacher of the 18th century) is

sometimes referred to as

a father of physiology due

to his exemplary teaching

in Leiden and textbook

'Institutiones medicae' (1708).

Herman Boerhaave

(1668–1738)

Pierre Jean Cabanis (1757-1808)Pierre Cabanis, a French doctor and physiologist in the 18th century. Cabanis proposed new ideas on brain function, on the brain's own sensibility, on the concept of will, and on the chemical basis of nervous activity. Cabanis is credited as the father of experimental philosophy.

Pierre Jean Cabanis was the best-known

philosopher of the medical revolution that

is associated with France in the late 1700s.

Pierre Jean Cabanis (1757-1808)

Arnold A Berthold (1803-1861)

Is one of the first endocrine

experiments ever recorded,

Professor Arnold A. Berthold

of Gottingen did a series of

tests on roosters in 1849

while he was curator of the

local zoo.

Arnold A Berthold (1803-1861)

Claude Bernard (1813-1878)

Claude Bernard stated that the

endocrine system regulates the

internal milieu of an animal.

The “internal secretions” were

liberated by one part of the body,

traveled via the bloodstream to

distant targets cells.

Claude Bernard (1813-1878)

About 1854 Bernard's charge was to

demonstrate that medicine, in order to

progress, must be founded on:

experimental physiology. Thus Bernard

practiced vivisection to the disgust of his

wife and his daughter.

The couple were officially separated in

1869 .

Claude Bernards (1813–1878) further

discoveries ultimately led to his concept

of milieu interieur (internal environment),

which would later be taken up and

championed as "homeostasis" by

American physiologist Walter Cannon

(1871–1945).

Charles Edouard Brown-Séquard(1817-1894)

On June -1- 1889, before the

Sociète de Biologic in Paris,

Brown-Sequard reported that he

had increased his physical

strength, mental abilities and

appetite by self-injection with an

extract derived from the testicles of

dogs and guinea pigs.

Wolverhampton, Staffordshire and gained a

B.Sc from London University.

He graduated (MA and D.Sc.) in physiology

from Wadham College, Oxford.

Bayliss and Ernest Henry Starling discovered

the peptide hormone secretin which

stimulates pancreatic secretion and

discovered also peristalsis of the intestines

(1902).

Sir William Bayliss1860-1924

•Bayliss and Ernest Henry Starling discovered

the peptide hormone secretin which stimulates

pancreatic secretion and discovered also

peristalsis

•In 1924 along with E. B. Vernay, he was

demonstrated the reabsorption of water by the

tubules of the kidney.

•He was the first to use the term hormone

Ernest Henry Starling (1866-1927)

•Starling was an English physiologist

• He worked mainly at University

College London although he also

worked for many years in Germany

and France.

•His main collaborator in London was his

brother in-law, Sir William Maddock

Bayliss.

Ernest Henry Starling

(1866-1927)

Starling is most famous for developing

the "Frank–Starling law of the heart,“

presented in 1915 and modified in 1919.

Besides "his" law of the heart, Starling

discovered the functional significance of

serum proteins.

Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945)

Walter Bradford Cannon ,M.D.was an

American physiologist professor and

chairman of the Department of

Physiology at Harvard Medical School.

Cannon coined the term fight or flight

response, and he expanded on Claude

Bernard's concept homeostasis.

He popularized his theories in his book ,

first published in 1932.

Nobel Prizes:

Milestones in Physiology or Medicine have

been recognized and rewarded with Nobel

Prizes since 1901.

Alfred Nobel left his legacy behind to award

future individuals the Nobel Prize for their

contribution to society.

Alfred Nobel

Nobel was interested in experimental physiology and set up his own laboratories

Examples from the Nobel Prize winners in Physiology:•Krogh -In cardiovascular physiology (for his

studies of capillary function).

• Einthoven (who described the electrocard-

-iogram).

•Forssman (who developed cardiac

catheterization).

•Hubel and Weisel (who worked out how

the visual areas of the cerebral

cortex analyse specific features of

the image.

•Adrian (responsible for our original

understanding of coding of inform

nerve impulses)

•Sherrington (who conceived the idea of

synapses in neurophysiology)

•Banting ( in endocrinology, insulin)

Enrico Sertoli (1842 - 1910)

Enrico Sertoli (June 6, 1842 - January 28, 1910)

Sertoli was an Italian physiologist and

histologist who was a native of Sondrio.

Sertoli in his first scientific work (1865) he

identified and described the branched cells

in the seminiferous tubules of the human

testicle, which are still known as sertoli cells.

Sertoli later studied the structure of the

testicle and spermatogenesis.

By the early 20th century the interest in

animal physiology was well developed.

Comparative physiology was the common

practice in the identification of species and

environmental physiology was becoming

intensively studied by individuals such as

Knut Schmidt-Nielsen and

George Bartholomew.

Knut Schmidt-Nielsen (1915–2007)

George Bartholomew. ( 1919 – 2006)

The functional adaptations, physiology, behaviour and ecology.

Comparative physiology and ecophysiology member of the Royal Society of London.

Schmidt-Nielsen (1915–2007)

• Published over 275 papers on animal

physiology .

• Credited with writing the first comprehensive

and authoritative text on animal physiology.

• His work led him to become a member of

the prestigious

Royal Society of London.

Today animal physiology is employed

comprehensively within the pharmaceutical

industry (animal testing) as well as in the ever

constant search by oncologists to discover new

compounds for cancer treatments.

There is also significant research into the purely

academic study of physiology by institutes of

zoology worldwide.

At that time Mohamed Ali

Pasha was the governor of

Egypt.

He asked for help from

France

to solve the problem

which caused the death of

about 1200 of cattle

including the bulls used in

the rice bleaching

activities in Rasheed

Mohamed Ali Pasha

Mohammed Ali Pasha in 1827 ordered his

Council to Open School of Veterinary

immediately in Rasheed recruiting students

from the School of Human Medicine and

treated like students of School of Medicine

human consumption in terms of salary,

clothing and grace with the same grade given

to graduates of the School of Medicine.

Two veterinarians (Mr. Hamon and Mr. Pretor)

came from Alfort Veterinary school to deal

with the problem.

Mohamed Ali agreed to establish a

veterinary school in Rasheed directed by

Mr. Hamon and starting with 10 students.

In 1827, and out of a need to stop the cattle plague “Rinderpest”

the fist veterinary school was established in the town Rasheed in the north west of the Egyptian Delta.

• In 1831, the school was

moved to a place near

Cairo called Abo-zaabal

beside the 1st school of

human medicine which

was established in 1827.

In 1836, the study period became five years , (may be increased to six years) and required that the student should be holder of a certificate of completion of secondary school, and dealt with the study of anatomy and physiology, pathology, surgery, clinical pathology, health , Internal Medicine, chemistry, nature, life science and pharmacy and treatment.

•In 1838 the school was again moved to a place called Shobra in Cairo.

•In 1839 - 1869, the school was joined with the school of agriculture (still in Shobra in Cairo.)

• In 1845, two doctors and veterinary technicians were sent on a mission to France and the number of students was 50 and teachers were five.

•In 1846 the transfer of a

teacher to the Medical School of

Veterinary Medicine Teaching

pharmacology and treatment,

and the lectures were in French

and translated into Arabic

•On June 14 -1905 became

a four-year .

•On Jan. 20, 1914 •the school was affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture according to a Ministerial Decree .

•On July 2, 1914 the baccalaureate was required for the new students to join the faculty of veterinary medicine.

•In 1918, the school was moved to Giza (south Cairo at that time).

• In 1921 the school was moved to its present building in the Cairo University street in Giza (The old building).

• In 1923 Law No. 52 the faculty belonged to the Ministry of Education.

•In 1935, the school was

included to the Egyptian

University and attached to the

Faculty of Medicine.

• By Law No. 84 of 1938 the

faculty was separated and the

years of study increased to five

years according to Law No. 149

of 1950.

King Farouk Act No. 5 of the statutes of the School of Veterinary Medicine in 1938

•In 1946 , the school became a

faculty.

•In 1962, the faculty has new

buildings in a near area,

where the clinics and other

departments were

established.

•In the year 1946 the name of the

University changed to Fuoad the first

University.

• At the year 1950 the name of the

Veterinary School became the

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.

•In 1952 Fuoad the first

University was renamed the Cairo

University.

History of Department of Physiology

We are currently compiling a history of our

department based upon the contributions of those

individuals associated with the department in

some official capacity since its inception.

It is our specific intent to elucidate the

development of the Physiology department .

The main approach will be to document the role

of each individual in our shared endeavor.

In the year 1921, the School of Veterinary

Medicine was established in the university

street in Giza , Physiology and Biochemistry

was the first department to be established in

that School in (The Egyptian University) near

Giza square.

In the year 1992 the two departments of

Physiology and Biochemistry were separated.

• At the year 1998 the department of physiology

was extended to the new building occupying

the third floor , which contains :

• the student laboratories ,

• the research laboratories

• and the room of the head of the department and

all rooms of the staff members of the

department.

The New Building

The New Building

In 1944 and for several years an English

medical doctor professor Dr. Matthews

Wilson had been teaching and supervising

twice a week the department of physiology

and biochemistry (It is said that he was at that time

nearly ninety years old).

He was managing director of the Faculty of

Medicine,( Kasr El Aini ).

After that around (1950) another

medical doctor Dr. Yousef Sedky had

received his doctorate from England in

biochemistry and became head of the

department of physiology and

biochemistry and was teaching

physiology .

Dr. Sedky was assisted only by

two demonstrators .

Doctor Mahmoud Elghamry

and

Doctor Helmy Badawy.

•Prof. Doctor Elghamry obtained a mission

to Yogoslavia where he obtained the D.sc. in

Physiology for the first time allover Egypt

and came back to Cairo University in 1963 .

• At the year 1973 he left Cairo University to

Zagazig University to be the Head of the

physiology department .

Prof.Doctor Helmy Badawy left also to

Germany in a mission for obtaining the

Doctor Degree in Anatomy on the expense

of Asyut University. Then he was promoted

to be the Dean of the Fac. of Vet. Med. And

then Vice president of Asyut Univ. He was

also selected to be Cultural Consultant in

one of our Embassies in Europe.

In 1960 Prof. Dr. Mohamed Zaki Barakat

gained the chairmanship of the Department of

Physiology and Biochemistry.

He was a professor of Pharmacology teaching

biochemistry both in Fac. of Veterinary

Medicine and in the Faculty of human

Medicine.

Professor Barakat was assisted by a number of

physiologists for the teaching of physiology

Prof. Hamed Nasr,

Dr. Foad Atallah ,

Dr. Yousry Hamed , who left to Assyut University.

Dr. Magdy Khalaf, and three demonstrators .

Dr. Samy Abdo , who left to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Samy Elmogy, who left to Zagazig University.

and Dr. Hamed Tantawy, who left to the Dept. Of

Virology

The first staff member who obtained his

Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dr.

Hamed Nasr.

He left the faculty to the Kingdom of

Saudi Arabia where he took a

prominent post in Veterinary Medicine.

Professor Doctor Samy Abdo

From these step by step beginnings of

the lecturers and at the year 1963 ,

the department of Physiology was

developed into a relatively large institution

under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Hamed

Nasr, the first veterinary Chairman of the

Physiology and Biochemistry Department.

Prof.Dr.Hamed Nasr got

his Ph.D. from England. In

addition of his work as a

Chairman of the

department; he was

promoted as Vice Dean of

the faculty during the

period from 1970 to 1971.

Prof. Dr. Hamed Nasr

•Professor Nasr was interested in digestive

system.

• He supervised and published many

researches and dissertations in different

branches of physiology.

•He shared in the establishment of the

departments of the Faculty of Vet. Med. At

Assyut Univ.

•His scientific activities enriched the

department with many updated subject at

that time.

•He shared in the establishment of the

faculty of veterinary medicine at Hama in

Syria

Under his management of the Department of

Physiology the number of the staff was enriched by

a number of demonstrators namely:

Dr.Samy El-Mogy (1964)

Dr. Sanaa Nassar (1965) who left to Assyut

University.

Dr.Esmat Seifelnasr (1966)

Throughout its history, the

Department of Physiology has

maintained a strong record in

teaching while contributing

significantly to research.

A number of faculty members

hold external research funding

and the scope of their research

has covered most of the basic and

applied areas of physiology.

Also, the undergraduate degree

programs continue to be

popular choices of students in

the sciences, especially those

planning to follow careers in

the veterinary medicine

professions.
