fyysiloginen

Fyysiloginen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "physiological" in English. It refers to anything related to the normal functions of a living organism and its parts. This encompasses the study of how the body works, including its organs, tissues, cells, and the chemical and physical processes that occur within them.

The term is often used in scientific and medical contexts. For example, a fyysiloginen condition would describe a state that is a natural part of an organism's life cycle, such as growth or aging, as opposed to a pathological or diseased state. Similarly, fyysiloginen responses refer to the body's normal reactions to stimuli, like the increase in heart rate during exercise or the release of hormones in response to stress.

In biology, fyysiloginen research aims to understand the mechanisms underlying life processes. This can involve studying everything from the respiration of a single cell to the complex coordination of systems within a multicellular organism. The adjective emphasizes the natural, inherent workings of living systems.
