4. Physiology:

• recognizes the unchanging (as opposed to the dynamic) nature of things.
• investigates the body’s structure.
• is concerned with organisms and does not deal with different levels of organization

such as cells and systems.

• is the science that examines the function of living organisms and their parts.
