To understand physiological phenomena and solve problems in physiology, it is necessary to determine the organizational level(s) at which an answer is to be found. Students need frequent opportunities to apply this core concept in all physiological contexts.
May 23, 2018 · precursor (pri-ker-ser) n. a substance from which another, usually more biologically active, substance is formed. For example, trypsinogen is the precursor of the enzyme trypsin.
That which precedes another or from which another is derived, applied especially to a physiologically inactive substance that is converted to an active enzyme, vitamin, hormone, etc., or to a chemical substance that is built into a larger structure in the course of synthesizing the latter.
