Physiology
Physiology is understanding how the body works and remembering the values and formulas that describe it. Lumi quizzes you on the mechanisms until you can explain them without a model in front of you.
How to turn this subject into cards
Make one note per function, such as circulation, breathing, kidney or hormones, with the mechanism in a few steps, the parameters and the regulation. Quiz yourself on the direction of change, for instance what happens if one value goes up. The trap is reciting a diagram while being unable to answer the question asked backwards. Lumi helps you retain definitions, formulas and chains of cause and effect.
