Clinical physiology

Clinical physiology is the study of how the body's systems function in health and disease. It focuses on understanding the physical and biological processes that occur in the body, such as how organs work, how they respond to treatment, and how diseases impact these functions. By analyzing processes like breathing, circulation, and metabolism, clinical physiologists help in diagnosing conditions and developing effective treatment plans. Their work is essential in healthcare, ensuring that patients receive appropriate care based on the physiological understanding of their health status.
