PHYSIOLOGY IN THE MODERN ERA INTEGRATING CORE SCIENCE WITH CLINICAL AND PREVENTIVE HEALTH

Abstract

Background: Physiology forms the foundation of all medical sciences and remains central to understanding health, disease, and therapeutic interventions. As the study of normal functions of the human body, physiology provides the framework upon which clinical medicine, diagnostics, and preventive healthcare are built. Despite rapid technological advancements and increasing specialization in medicine, the importance of physiology has not diminished; rather, it has expanded in scope and relevance.
