Physiology examines how living organisms, mainly plants and animals, function. This discipline explores biological systems at cellular, tissue, organ, and whole-body levels. Researchers employ mechanistic methods to connect cellular processes with overall organismal function. Animal behavior studies closely intertwine with physiology when investigating the biological mechanisms behind behavioral patterns. This academic path equips future healthcare professionals (MD, DO, DDS, PT), scientific investigators (MS/PhD) studying plant and animal functions, and ecologists with essential knowledge.
