      Аннотация: Human physiology is the scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body and how they work together to support the functions of life. Much of the study of physiology centers on the body’s tendency toward homeostasis. An understanding of physiology is not only fundamental to any career in the health professions, but it can also benefit your health. Familiarity with the human body can help you make healthful choices and prompt you to take appropriate action when signs of illness arise. Your knowledge in this field will help you understand the basics of nutrition, medications, medical devices, and procedures. At some point, everyone will have a problem with some aspect of his or her body and your knowledge can help you to be a better parent, spouse, partner, friend, colleague, or caregiver.
