"Physiology is the study of the functions and integrative processes of life at all levels of structural complexity between and including the molecular level through to that of the whole organism. It includes all organisms, and frames function in evolutionary, environmental, ecological and behavioral contexts. It embraces a cross-disciplinary approach to modern science, through which physiologists aim to achieve translation of this knowledge into the health of humans, animals and ecosystems."
