Physiology is the branch of biology that explores how living organisms function, from the cellular level to entire systems within the body. It investigates processes like circulation, respiration, digestion, and neural signaling, revealing how organs and tissues work together to sustain life. By studying both normal function and dysfunction, physiology provides essential insights into health, disease, and the biological mechanisms underlying behavior and adaptation. It serves as a foundation for many areas of medical and life sciences research, bridging the gap between molecular biology and clinical practice.
