Physio-

Physiological significance (physiology), the science of the laws of functioning and interaction of living organisms and their structural and functional units, integral organisms and their communities with the environment.

PHYSIOLOGY is the science of the structure and function of the body, the mechanisms of its integration into a single whole and the control of vital processes. Knowledge of the basic mechanisms of functioning of a particular system is necessary for understanding various physiological functions, diseases and normal physiological development in ontogenesis. Physiology includes normal and pathological physiology of humans, animals, plants, microorganisms, tissue cultures and biological systems in general. Physiology considers both the regulatory processes of the cell itself and the behavior and adaptation of the whole organism. The main subject of physiology is the study of the most general laws of nature: metabolism and energy between the body and the environment, mechanisms of neurohumoral regulation of physiological processes at various levels, the relationship of tissue functions in the whole organism. Modern sciences are characterized by a high degree of differentiation and the fact that almost any “cell” of scientific knowledge has its own history and
