Core Principle 5: Structure/Function Relationships
(Konsep Inti 5 : Hubungan antara Struktur dan Fungsi)
Semester I 2013/2014 tjandraanggraeni 1
Why Structure/Function Relationships
Understanding the behavior of an
organism requires understanding the relationship between structure and function (at each and every level of organization).
Semester I 2013/2014 tjandraanggraeni 2
To understand the behavior of the organism requires understanding the relationship between the structure and function of the organism.
The structure of the organism both
enables particular functions (makes them possible and determines the magnitude of what happens) and constrains functions (limits what can happen and the
magnitude of what happens).

Sub Topics
A. The three-dimensional structure of cells and tissues is a determinant of the functions of the cell and tissue
B. Surface area is a determinant of the movement of all substances; hence, the surface area (and the surfaceto-volume ratio) is a determinant of
function.
C. All physical objects (cells, tissues, and organs) exhibit elastic recoil, which contributes to determining function.

CONTEXT WITHIN PHYSIOLOGY
This “core principle” is, on one level, a fairly abstract statement of the obvious interaction between the way in which the pieces of a mechanism are assembled into a system and the functions that the
system can carry out.
Semester I 2013/2014 tjandraanggraeni 17
However, it also describes several very specific examples of commonalities that extend across many different physiological systems.
For example, when two systems carry out similar functions, certain features of their structure can be expected to be similar.

EXAMPLE
Gas exchange in the lungs and absorption of the products of digestion in the small
intestine occur (in the latter case, only in part) by the process of passive diffusion.
To maximize the flux of material across a membrane, there must be a large surface area available, and the thickness of the
barrier to diffusion must be minimized. In both examples cited, these conditions are present as a result of the structure of the respective systems.
