Definition of physiological

physiologicaladjective

sinh lý

/ˌfɪziəˈlɒdʒɪkl//ˌfɪziəˈlɑːdʒɪkl/

The word "physiological" originates from the Greek words "physis," meaning "nature" or "growth," and "logos," meaning "study" or "science." In the 16th century, the term "physiologia" was coined to describe the study of the natural properties and functions of living organisms, particularly plants and animals. Over time, the term evolved to include the study of the functions and processes of the human body, including the functions of organs, tissues, and systems. In the 19th century, the term "physiological" was adopted to describe the scientific study of these functions and processes. Today, the term "physiological" is used to describe a wide range of fields, including physiology, biomedical science, and medicine, as well as related disciplines such as nutrition, pharmacology, and biology.
