Abstract

Seemingly effortless interactions between our physiological systems allow for our remarkable ability to constantly adapt to the changing forces and environments to which we are exposed. Hence, it is no surprise that the study of human physiology requires integrative approaches to understand interactions in physiological function in health and disease. An example of an integrative approach to physiological function is provided by the study of Davis et al. recently reported in The Journal of Physiology (Davis et al. 2015). The human cardiovascular, respiratory and thermoregulatory systems are brought together by these authors in their investigation of oesophageal temperature and respiratory heat loss in individuals with a patent foramen ovale.
