Does anyone have any advice for how to do this? How did you study for it when you took it?

be sure you can answer the questions by applying the concepts to a realistic application. don't just memorize the relationships, understand what they represent. the best way to do this is to work problems that are in the same format as those you will be tested on.
typically it boils down to: here's a system. all possible system states can be represented by a line, and where the system is at any given point can be represented by a point on that line. know the different variables that can make that point move on the line, what direction they will push it, and why.

Although I have not taken the class yet, many of my friends have and they all were overwhelmed with the amount of information that was presented to them. So make sure you read before lecture, PAY ATTENTION in lecture, and read after. I know it sounds like a ridiculous amount of studying but it will really pay off also, do not just memorize, try to create relationships between all the different systems of the body etc. The advisers at my school said to me "if you don't do well in systems phys you will have a very hard time in med school". I don't know how true that holds but I'm assuming they're telling the truth.

Physiology = Medicine
The Nobel prize is awarded in Physiology OR Medicine (Aka pretty much the same thing)
How to do well? Review your notes after class. Invest in a good textbook. And the best thing to do, is discuss it with a few peers, using a white board. It can make the Frank-Starling Law much less daunting.
