Abstract
The physiology of an organism, or of a biological process, results from the integration of its biochemical and genetic features in the living organism. It can be approached descriptively, by a study of the responses of the organism or process to environmental changes, but more sophisticated understanding of physiology requires the integration of genetical and biochemical knowledge.
