Unpacking and validating the “physiological adaptation” core concept of physiology
An Australian Task Force of physiology educators identified physiological adaptation as a core concept of physiology. It was subsequently unpacked into four themes and nine subthemes. These were rated, by the Task Force, Essential or Important and Moderately Difficult for students to learn.

Emerging role of angiogenesis in adaptive and maladaptive right ventricular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Right ventricular (RV) function is the primary prognostic factor for both morbidity and mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH). RV hypertrophy is initially an adaptive physiological response to increased overload; however, with persistent and/or ...

Physiological adaptation in savanna ungulates [PDF]
Savannas lie between the equatorial rain forests and the semi-deserts of the southern continents. From the herbivore’s viewpoint, the savanna environment is characterized by a mixture of herbaceous and woody vegetation, varying in quantity and growth stage according to the seasonal cycle of rainfall. C4 grasses (i.e.

A model of heart rate kinetics in response to exercise
We present a mathematical model, in the form of two coupled ordinary differential equations, for the heart rate kinetics in response to exercise. Our heart rate model is an adaptation of the model of oxygen uptake kinetics of Stirling: a physiological ...

Molecular and genetic mechanisms of physiological adaptations in high- altitude natives Molecular and genetic mechanisms of physiological adaptations in high- altitude natives [PDF]
Physiological properties of adaptation to chronic hypoxia can help the high-altitude natives to overcome oxygen limitations. The protective effects of high altitudes have also been confirmed in experimental studies using the hypobaric chamber.

Evolution of adaptation mechanisms: adaptation energy, stress, and oscillating death
In 1938, H. Selye proposed the notion of adaptation energy and published "Experimental evidence supporting the conception of adaptation energy". Adaptation of an animal to different factors appears as the spending of one resource.

Physiological Profile of Male Competitive and Recreational Surfers [PDF]
Surfing consists of both high- and low-intensity paddling of varying durations, using both the aerobic and anaerobic systems. Surf-specific physiological studies lack adequate group sample sizes, and V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak values are yet to ...

Recovery from bleaching is mediated by threshold densities of background thermo-tolerant symbiont types in a reef-building coral [PDF]
Sensitive molecular analyses show that most corals host a complement of Symbiodinium genotypes that includes thermo-tolerant types in low abundance. While tolerant symbiont types are hypothesized to facilitate tolerance to temperature and recovery from ...
