Physiology and Pharmacology Degree |
|
Physiology and Pharmacology study how living organisms work and how chemical compounds, endogenous and exogenous, interact with them to affect their function. They are the basic sciences underlying modern medicine and research aimed at understanding human health and disease. "In the first half of the 20th century […]
pharmacology really established its identity and its status among the
biomedical sciences. In parallel with the
exuberant proliferation of therapeutic molecules-driven mainly by chemistry-which gave
pharmacologists so much to think about, physiology was also making rapid
progress, particularly in relation to
chemical mediators[…]. Many hormones, neurotransmitters and
inflammatory mediators were discovered in this period, and the
realisation that chemical communication plays a central role in almost every regulatory mechanism that our
bodies possess immediately established a large area of common ground
between physiology and pharmacology,
for interactions between chemical substances and living systems were
exactly what pharmacologists had been preoccupied with from the outset."
