branch of biology about body functions
The science that studies how the body and its parts work in living things.
Vartosenos šablonas:
to study physiology; the physiology of [an organism]
Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "physiology" with "anatomy" and "psychology." "Physiology" is about how the body works, while "anatomy" is about the structure or parts of the body, and "psychology" is about the mind and behavior. Another mistake is treating it as a plural (*physiologies*) in general use; in this sense it is normally an uncountable field of study.

the functional processes of a body
The way a living body or one of its parts normally works and carries out its processes.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the physiology of [an organ / system / process]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use "physiology" when they mean "physique" (body shape) or "fitness." "Physiology" refers to how the body works inside, not to how it looks from the outside.
