Specialty Overview
Physiology is the study of how living organisms function, focusing on the mechanisms and processes that keep the body alive and healthy. Medical physiologists investigate normal body functions and how they change in disease states.
This fundamental medical science provides the foundation for understanding all clinical disciplines, from cardiology to neurology, by explaining how organs and systems work together to maintain life.
Body Mechanics: Physiologists decode how the human body works, providing essential knowledge that underlies all medical practice and therapeutic interventions.
