24 Physiology . . . The functions of the kidney, water balance and electrolytes gave us a better understanding of the diuresis which follows a six-pack or the distribution of examination papers.

WILLIAM DEWEY BLAKE, M.D. Head, Department of Physiology Physiology The study of Physiology was to provide the third part of our introduction to the human organism by providing an appreciation for the normal function- ing of the various organ systems which make up the organism. We began at the beginning — with the “river of life”: the cardiovascular system. We learned the cardiac cycle inside-out, and forwards and back- wards until P-Q-R-S-T became integral parts of us. The dynamics of respiration followed, and we be- came aware of our breathing for the first time, and of such descriptions as eupnea, apnea, tachypnea, etc., and of the elastic resistances and compli- ance, and of course, Poiseuille’s law. The study of the digestive tract — end to end gave us an appreciation of the many “zymes” and “ases” 23 which enabled us to utilize the energy supplied by the Macke machines. Xo one will forget those memorable lectures on hypo-hyper — which was it? — as the fine workings of the endocrine system were presented.
