networks in biological systems

Biological networks are systems of interconnected components, such as molecules, cells, or organs, that communicate and work together to maintain life processes. For example, in the body, neurons form nerve networks transmitting signals, while blood vessels create a circulatory network delivering oxygen and nutrients. These networks enable coordination, adaptation, and response to changes, ensuring overall health and function. Studying these networks helps us understand how biological systems are organized, how they respond to damage or disease, and how they influence each other in complex, dynamic ways.
