Physiology is the study of how the human body works

It describes the chemistry and physics behind basic body functions, from how molecules behave in cells to how systems of organs work together It helps us understand what happens in a healthy body in everyday life and what goes wrong when someone gets sick Most physiology depends on basic research studies carried out in a laboratory Some physiologists study single proteins or cells, while others might research how cells interact to form tissues, organs, and systems within the body A physiology degree can provide you with a foundation to work in science, academia, or medicine
