The study of how the body functions.

The study of nature.

The study of.

The study of physiology involves observing the body, both with the naked eye and microscopes, and also manipulating and measuring.

The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

A key theme in physiology, it emphasizes that the body is a complex system of interconnected parts working together.

A key theme in physiology; it highlights the body's ability to adapt and change in response to environmental demands.

A key theme in physiology; it underscores the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms of how the body functions.

A branch of physiology that focuses specifically on the human body and its functions.

The study of the functions of viruses, including their life cycle, replication, and interactions with host cells.

The study of the functions of bacteria, including their metabolism, growth, and interactions with their environments.

The study of the functions of molecules within living organisms, including their structures, interactions, and roles in cellular processes.

The study of how living organisms function through an integrated approach that explains both the purpose ('why') and the process ('how') of biological functions.

The study of the specific processes that enable the human body to survive and function.

The study of the functions of cells, including their structure, metabolism, and interactions with other cells.

The study of the functions of plants, including their growth, development, and interactions with their environments.

The fluid environment surrounding cells in the body, providing a stable medium for their survival and function.

The idea that complex systems emerge from simpler components, and new properties arise at each level of organization. For example, emotions and memories are emergent properties of the brain that are not present in individual neurons.

The fundamental unit of life, responsible for the basic functions of an organism.

The fluid that surrounds cells, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the blood and cells.

A system composed of skin, hair, and nails that acts as a protective barrier against the external environment.

The process of taking in nutrients, breaking them down, and eliminating unabsorbed matter.

The system responsible for taking in oxygen and eliminating carbon dioxide.

The system that circulates blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products.

The process of maintaining a stable internal environment in an organism, despite external changes.

The digestive system takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and eliminates unabsorbed matter, called feces.

The respiratory system takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.

The cardiovascular system transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body via the blood.

The urinary system eliminates nitrogenous wastes, excess ions, and water from the body.

All body tissues and organs work together to maintain homeostasis.

The cardiovascular system distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells, and removes waste products like carbon dioxide.

The urinary system filters waste products from the blood and eliminates them from the body, helping maintain fluid balance.

A feedback mechanism where the effector amplifies the initial stimulus, causing a further increase in the response.

A feedback mechanism where the effector reduces or stops the stimulus, returning the system to its set point.

The process of sweating and vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) to cool the body down.

The process of vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), piloerection (hair standing on end), and shivering to warm the body up.

The control center in the brain that regulates body temperature.

Sensors that detect changes in the body's internal environment, such as temperature.
