Primate Physiology and Biochemistry

Primate physiology and biochemistry is a field of science devoted to the study of the physical and chemical processes occurring in the bodies of primates. It investigates the structure and functioning of organs and organ systems, such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems, as well as metabolic pathways of digestion, absorption and hormones. Knowledge gained from the study of primate physiology and biochemistry can be used to inform medical research, leading to potential treatments and cures for diseases, as well as to improve animal welfare. Further, it can be used to understand the evolution of primate species, such as humans, and the behavior of primate species in their environments.
