Accompanying the progressive erosion of a coherent sense of physiology as an intellectual discipline, there has been a tendency to lose sight of the homeostatic principles that underpin physiological science, and to teach them in an oversimplified form. When (as is increasingly the case) these principles are rediscovered, they are often treated as something both novel and distinct from homeostasis, fragmenting what is best understood and taught as a unified whole. This article urges a more unitary approach to homeostasis, and attempts to show how such an approach can be presented.
随着生理学作为一门知识学科的连贯意义逐渐受到侵蚀,人们往往忽视了支撑生理科学的稳态原则,并且以过于简化的形式来教授这些原则。当(这种情况越来越常见)这些原则被重新发现时,它们常常被视为既新颖又与稳态不同的东西,从而割裂了作为一个统一整体最易于理解和教授的内容。本文主张采用一种更统一的方法来研究稳态,并试图展示如何呈现这样一种方法。
