Topic outline

  • Welcome to Physiology


     

     

    • Physiology study of the functioning of living organisms and of the functioning of their constituent tissues or cells.

      Human physiology is the science of the functioning of human organs and the cells that compose them.


      While anatomy studies form, physiology is the study of function.

      The most basic level is the molecular level, which includes all chemical substances that are necessary for cells to function. 


      At the tissue level, study expands to examine function of the basic types of tissue, including epithelial, muscle, nervous, and connective tissues. 


      The third level of study is the organ level. Typical organs studied include heart, liver, lungs, and stomach. 


      The fourth level of study is the system level, which studies the functions of the major systems of the human body:


      • Nervous system
      • Endocrine system
      • Circulatory system
      • Respiratory system
      • Urinary system
      • Reproductive system
