Physiology is the study of the function of the body and its parts— how things work and what they do.

Question 3

Anatomy and Physiology are part of what field of science?

Answer 3

Biology

Question 4

What is Homeostasis?

Answer 4

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a relatively stable internal environment. It is a dynamic equilibrium reflecting a healthy state. All characteristics of life interact in a manner that helps to attain and maintain homeostasis.
