Our s tudy of human phys i o l o gy beg in s r igh t from the t ime of

, .concep t i on though unconsc i ou s l y

Consc i ou s l y the s tudy beg in s with l earn ing of the in t e ra c t i o n s amongs t fami l y members and the l i v i n g and

. non l i v i n g surround ing s But th i s - .s tudy i s in fo rma l or non formal

Formal and consc i ou s learn ing of human phys i o l o gy beg in s when one

. s tar t s go ing to schoo l Here a var i e t y of in t e ra c t i o n s in the

; nature are taught with respec t to . the i r ef f e c t s on human l i f e This

knowledge i s somet imes cat egor i z ed as human phys i o l o gy and somet imes

.not

The profe s s i ona l or academic s tudy of human phys i o l o gy beg in s when one

enter s a graduat i on or prof e s s i ona l .course

The foundat i on of the s tudy of human phys i o l o gy i s s tudy ing every th i ng in nature with respec t to i t s

in t e ra c t i o n s with human l i f e and !vic e versa

Thus we s tudy phys i o l o gy in .fo l l ow ing way

1. We observe s ign s and symptoms in pat i en t s and corre l a t e them with the

s t ruc tura l and func t i ona l .abnormal i t i e s

2. We use observa t i on s in day to day l i f e and corre l a t e the i r cause and

. . ef f e c t e g the ef f e c t of day and nigh t on s l e ep and wakefu lne s s

.cyc l e

3. ,We use the knowledge of phys i c s chemis t r y etc and apply the

pr inc ip l e s invo l v ed to the human body to exp la i n the in t e ra c t i on s in

.human body

4. We use techno l ogy such as microscope to s tudy smal l e r ,s t ruc tur e s such as ce l l s

.the i r membranes etc

5. ( ) The actua l event s phenomena in the body are compared with other

( ) observed even t s phenomena such as e l e c t r i c i t y in the nature and thus

the nature of the body act i v i t i e s i s .def in ed

6. The var iou s contro l mechani sms in the machine s are corre l a t ed with

body and the nature of regu la t o ry and contro l

mechani sms in the body are iden t i f i e d or hypothe s i z ed and

.ver i f i e d

7. Exper imenta t i on such as abla t i on ( ) remova l of an organ and i t s

ef f e c t s are observed and corre spond ing func t i on i s ass i gned

.to tha t organ

8. St imula t i on or l e s i on exper iment s with

bra in e l i c i t func t i on s of organs .re l a t ed to tha t part of bra in

9. Observa t i on s of ef f e c t s of , prac t i c e of pranayama di f f e r en t exerc i s e s and other al t e ra t i on s in

the env i ronment or die t add to our .knowledge of human phys i o l o gy

10. Various measurement s such as , ,hemoglob in pulmonary vent i l a t i o n

blood pres sure add to our unders t and ing

11. Techniques such as ,e l e c t r o ca rd i og raphy

,e l e c t r o enc epha l og raphy e l e c t r o r e t i n og raphy and

magnet i c resonance s tud i e s give quant i t a t i v e perspec t i v e of

corre spond ing s t ruc tur e s .and the i r func t i on s

12. Based on thes e and other s tud i e s , and observa t i on s one learn s to make

hypothe s e s and to ver i f y them and make the unders t and ing of human

.phys i o l o gy deeper and more accura t e

13. Learn ing human phys i o l o gy can not grow withou t ask ing ques t i on s at

.every poin t

14. Learn ing human phys i o l o gy ( )requ i r e s l i k e any other f i e l d

. unpre jud i c ed and rea l i s t i c mind I t i s sa id tha t NAMASMARAN can be

prac t i c ed to deve l op crys t a l c l ear , and unbias ed mind which fac i l i t a t e s

ef f e c t i v e and more comple t e l earn ing .of human phys i o l o gy
