Physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of the functioning of living organisms and their parts. It investigates the dynamic processes and physical and chemical mechanisms that make up the function of living organisms, including the use of energy, transport of molecules, and regulation of cell structures and organs. It aims to understand how the body works in order to explain the mechanisms of health and disease. Through its knowledge, physiology can be used to inform medical practice, diet and lifestyle choices, and develop therapies and treatments for illnesses. This field of study is essential to many disciplines such as medicine, nutrition, and exercise science, making it a crucial subject for the overall health of the population.
