Physiology is the branch of biology that focuses on understanding the functions and mechanisms of living organisms. It encompasses a wide range of studies from the molecular and cellular levels to the systems and whole-organism levels, examining how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical and physical functions necessary for life. Key areas of physiology include neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, and renal physiology, among others. The field is foundational for medical science, providing essential insights into how the body works in health and disease. Advances in physiology have led to significant medical breakthroughs and improvements in health care, including the development of new treatments and diagnostic tools.
