AI overview

I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview of physiology. The image caption only mentions Claude Bernard and references him as "the father of modern physiology," but doesn't provide definitions or explanations of what physiology is or why it matters. To write an accurate, factual overview based only on the provided context, I would need additional information about the field itself.

Physiology (; ) is the scientific study of functions and mechanisms in a living system. As a subdiscipline of biology, physiology focuses on how organisms, organ systems, individual organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out chemical and physical functions in a living system. According to the classes of organisms, the field can be divided into medical physiology, animal physiology, plant physiology, cell physiology, and comparative physiology.
