Definition : Physiology (/ˌfɪziˈɒlədʒi/; from Ancient Greek φύσις (physis), meaning ’nature, origin’, and -λογία (-logia), meaning ’study of’) is the scientific study of the functions and mechanisms which work within a living system.
As a sub-discipline of biology, the focus of physiology is on how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical and physical functions that exist in a living system.

comparative anatomy
3 March 2017WKP
Definition : Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. It is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny (the evolution of species).
The science began in the classical era, continuing in Early Modern times with work by Pierre Belon who noted the similarities of the skeletons of birds and humans.
Comparative anatomy has provided evidence of common descent, and has assisted in the classification of animals.

Definition : An abnormal physiological phenomenon is the anomalies of a physiological parameter.
The physiology is the scientific study of the normal function in living systems.
It is a sub-discipline of biology and medicine,
its focus is in how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system.
Given the size of the field, it is divided into, among others, animal physiology (including that of (...) -

histology
9 August 2016WP
Definition: Histology is the study of the microscopic moprhology (microanatomy or micromorphology ) of normal cells and normal tissues of plants and animals.
It is commonly performed by examining cells and tissues under a light microscope or electron microscope , the specimen having been sectioned (cut into a thin cross section with a microtome), stained, and mounted on a microscope slide.
Histological studies may be conducted using tissue culture, where live human or animal cells (...) -
histopathology
9 August 2016tissular pathology WP
Definition : The study of abnormal tissue is known as histopathology.
Histopathology refers to the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.
Specifically, in clinical medicine, histopathology refers to the examination of a biopsy or surgical specimen by a pathologist, after the specimen has been processed and histological sections have been placed onto glass slides.
In contrast, cytopathology examines free cells or (...) -

Medicine is the science and practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease, typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as (...)
