What happens beneath our skin? How does the human body maintain its balance, respond to disease, and adapt to the world around us?

Flesh&Bones explores anatomy, physiology, pathology, and clinical reasoning through accessible, evidence-informed storytelling. Each episode takes a complex medical concept and makes it understandable without sacrificing the scientific details that matter.

Created for medical students, healthcare professionals, and anyone curious about the human body, the podcast connects fundamental biological mechanisms with the human experience of health and illness.

This English edition accompanies Flesh&Bones en Español, offering equivalent educational content across two languages. Together, the editions also provide an opportunity to explore and compare medical terminology in English and Spanish.

Flesh&Bones provides educational information and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

]]> episodic no Lorenzo Fatto Offidani lorenzooffidani@gmail.com false full Homeostasis and Feedback Systems Homeostasis and Feedback Systems Lorenzo Fatto Offidani An introduction to homeostasis, negative and positive feedback, and the physiological systems that help maintain a stable internal environment. How does the body remain stable while everything around us changes?

We explore homeostasis and the sensors, control centers, and effectors that regulate variables such as temperature, blood glucose, and blood pressure. We also explain negative feedback and amplifying feedback mechanisms, showing how the body constantly responds, corrects, and adapts.

We introduce the levels of organization of the human body and the relationship between anatomy and physiology. From a single cell to a complete organism, the human body is organized into interconnected levels that depend on one another.

In this opening episode of Flesh&Bones, we explore cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems, building a foundation for understanding how anatomy and physiology fit together. An introduction for medical students and anyone curious about how the human body is structured.
