Physiology (from Greek: φυσις, physis, “nature, origin”; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms. Physiology has traditionally been divided between
plant physiology and animal physiology but the principles of physiology are universal, no matter what particular
organism is being studied. For example, what is learned about the physiology of
yeast cells may also apply to
human cells.The field of animal physiology extends the tools and methods of
human physiology to non-human animal
species. Plant physiology also borrows techniques from both fields. Its scope of subjects is at least as diverse as the
tree of life itself. Due to this diversity of subjects, research in animal physiology tends to concentrate on understanding how physiological traits changed throughout the
evolutionary history of animals. Other major branches of scientific study that have grown out of physiology research include
biochemistry,
biophysics,
paleobiology,
biomechanics, and
pharmacology.
