Histology
Correct Answer
A. pHysiologyExplanation
Physiology is the study of the functions and activities performed by the body structures. It focuses on how different organs and systems in the body work together to maintain homeostasis and carry out various functions. This includes studying processes such as digestion, respiration, circulation, and reproduction. Physiology helps us understand how the body functions at a cellular and molecular level, and how it responds to different stimuli and environments. It is closely related to anatomy, which is the study of the structure of the body, and histology, which is the study of tissues.Rate this question:
