Abstract

A central concept of modern physiology is that a system of coupled, connected and interacting biological components has properties beyond those that can be discovered by analysis of the components in isolation. The properties of a system of components depend upon the nature of the individual components, the signals and individual signal flow pathways, and the arrangement of components and paths of communication among them. The objective of modern physiology is to determine the dynamic attributes of a biosystem of interest, and to rationalize these dynamic attributes in terms of particular properties of the components, signals, and connections involved. Because of this objective, modern physiology can be properly designated as systems biology.
