Physiology
The biological science concerned with the life-supporting properties, functions, and processes of living organisms or their parts.
physiology [Subheading]
Used with organs, tissues, and cells of unicellular and multicellular organisms for normal function. It is used also with biochemical substances, endogenously produced, for their physiologic role.
Year introduced: 1966
Physiology, Comparative
The biological science concerned with similarities or differences in the life-supporting functions and processes of different species.

Year introduced: 2017
Sports Nutritional Physiological Phenomena
Nutritional physiology related to EXERCISE or ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE.
Year introduced: 2014
Nutritional Physiological Phenomena
The processes and properties of living organisms by which they take in and balance the use of nutritive materials for energy, heat production, or building material for the growth, maintenance, or repair of tissues and the nutritive properties of FOOD.
Year introduced: 2009 (1963)

Mind-Body Relations, Metaphysical
The relation between the mind and the body in a religious, social, spiritual, behavioral, and metaphysical context. This concept is significant in the field of alternative medicine. It differs from the relationship between physiologic processes and behavior where the emphasis is on the body's physiology ( = PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY).
