Fun With Physiology
Historically, human physiology is commonly presented in an academic manner. Because of this emphasis, some individuals may find it difficult to grasp the concepts associated with human physiology. Due to its complexity, some EMS practitioners may believe it is easier to avoid or skim over these concepts. This series will attempt to simplify human physiology from the cellular perspective. We will also emphasize why cellular physiology is relevant to the typical EMS provider.
