Physiology
Physiology is the foundational science that explains how every part of the human body functions – from the smallest cell to entire organ systems and whole-body responses. It explores the complex mechanisms that allow us to breathe, move, think, digest, adapt, and maintain health in everyday life and under stress.
What Is Physiology?
Physiology is the study of normal biological function – understanding how organs, tissues, cells, and systems work independently and together to sustain life.
- Cellular processes - how cells use energy and communicate
- Organ system function - how the heart pumps, how lungs breathe, how muscles contract
- Homeostasis - how the body maintains internal balance
- Adaptations - how the body responds to stress like exercise, heat, illness, or injury
Why Physiology Matters
Understanding Health at Its Core
Physiology provides the scientific foundation for medicine, nursing, fitness, and public health. It tells us how normal function works so we can identify when and why things go wrong.
Guiding Diagnosis and Treatment
Doctors and allied health professionals rely on physiological knowledge to diagnose conditions, interpret tests, and design effective treatment plans.
Optimizing Lifestyle & Wellness
Insights from physiology help you make better lifestyle choices — from nutrition and sleep to exercise and stress management.
