systemic physiology

Systemic physiology is the study of how different systems in the body work together to maintain overall health and function. It examines processes like circulation, respiration, digestion, and nervous system interactions. For example, when you exercise, your heart rate increases to supply more oxygen to your muscles, while your respiratory system speeds up to exchange gases efficiently. By understanding these interconnected systems, we gain insights into how activities, diseases, and treatments affect the body as a whole, highlighting the importance of each system and their collaborative roles in sustaining life.
