• PHYSIOLOGY​ - The science of the mechanical, physical, bioelectrical and biochemical functions of humans in good health, their organs, and the cells of which they are composed. ​

  In short, study of human body. ​
• PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY​ - The study of the relationship or the effect of the mind to the body.​
•  Nervous System/ Neurological system - “Activator of the body system” 
• CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM - it consist of the brain (Chief of Staff) and spinal cord. It is the processing area of information. ​
• PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM - it is responsible for providing sensory information to the central nervous system and carry motor commands out to the tissue body.
• Somatic Nervous System - control voluntary command.​
• Autonomic Nervous System - which acts as a self- regulating response of the body, controls involuntary motor commands.​
• SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - A.K.A THE “FIGHT OR FLIGHT MECHANISM” ​

  • INCREASES ALERTNESS,STIMULATES TISSUE, ANDPREPARES THE BODY TOQUICK RESPONSE TOUNUSUAL SITUATION. ​

           ​
• PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - A.K.A THE REST AND REPOSE SYSTEM  ​

  • IT IS FUNCTIONALLY ANTAGONISTIC TO THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. ITS ROLE IS TO MAINTAIN THE HOMEOSTASIS OF THE BODY WHICH IS NECESSARY FOR NORMAL FUNCTIONING. THEREFORE, IT FOLLOWS THAT WHENEVER THE SYMPATHETIC ACTIVATES THE PARASYMPATHETIC FOLLOWS TO RE- ESTABLISH THE CHEMICAL BALANCE OF THE BODY.​
• CIRCULATORY SYSTEM - RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE BLOOD ​
• RESPIRATORY SYSTEM - RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAKING OF AIR INTO THE LUNGS AND ALSO EXPELLING CARBON DIOXIDE ​
• EXCRETORY SYSTEM - EXTERNAL COVERING OF THE BODY CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF EPIDERMIS, DERMIS, AND THE HYPODERMIS. ​
• CARDIO- SPHYGMOGRAPH - It was designed to detect changes in the blood pressure and pulse rate of the subject. It is also made up of the following: ​
• CARDIO- SPHYGMOGRAPH It is also made up of the following: ​

  • Blood Pressure Cuff​
  • Sphygmomanometer​
  • Pump bulb assembly​
  •  A resonance control unit​
  • A centering control​
  •  A vent​
  •  A recording pen​
• Blood Pressure Cuff which is attached to the upper right arm of the subject, slightly above the brachial artery.  
• Sphygmomanometer which is utilized to indicate the amount of air pressure inflated to the system.
• Pump bulb assembly which inflates air into the system, also known as air pump it has a hose connecting the blood pressure cuff through which the blood pressure changes and passed into the recording pen.
• CARDIO- SPHYGMOGRAPH​

  • A resonance control unit is used for reducing or increasing the amount o air pressure to reach the brass bellows (tambour) and thus reduce or increase the amplitude of pen excursions.

  ​
•  CARDIO- SPHYGMOGRAPH​

  • A centering control which is used to provide adjustment of the tracing so that the composite records patterns would be on the guideline.
• CARDIO- SPHYGMOGRAPH

  • A vent which provides the means by which air in the system can be released. 
• CARDIO- SPHYGMOGRAPH

  • A recording pen unit which is used to record the blood pressure pulse rate changes on the chart paper by means of a five inch recording pen.
