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.

•Important aspects of ancient Egyptian medicine:
-Concepts of Anatomy and Physiology.
-Magic in Egyptian medicine.
-The Holistic Healers.
-Pattern of Disease in Egypt.
-The Surgeons Role.
-Drugs for Therapy.

.The physiology of blood circulation
demonstrated in the was Edwin Smith Papyrus,(1600B.C) together with its relation to theheart, as well as
awareness of the importance of the pulse .
describes the position of the heart precisely, and illustrates some of its disorders, as dropped beats.
Egyptian physicians recognized the heart as the source of blood vessels

Imhotep (3000 B.C.-2950 B.C.) was the first known physician
ImhotepBecame a deified (ideal) god.
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.

Avicenna (980-1037)
Avicenna (980-1037)
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).
vivisection
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.

Sir William Maddock Bayliss1860-1924
English physiologist . He was born in
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.
Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945)
Jim Ferguson1947-2002
Famous cardiovascular physiologist .
Truly understood “Starling’s Law”
Disputed )refused) that the main
purpose of the cardiovascular
system was to deliver hormones.
Described the role of oxytocin in
mechanism of parturition.

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)
•Guillemin and Schally (identification of the
hypothalamic peptides that control the pituitary
gland).
•Furchgott who illustrated that nitric oxide,
a tiny gaseous molecule, can convey information
between cells simply by diffusing through their
membranes.
Robert E. Hungate (1906-2004)
Robert E. Hungate, 1956 . An American
scientist distinguished by his pioneer-
-ing studies on cultivation of strict
anaerobes and rumen microbiology,
edited the most famous book in
rumen microbiology (The rumen and its
microbes (Academic Press, 1966)

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.

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:

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.
