生理学是对生命以及活细胞和组织如何运作的研究
Physiology is the study of life and how living cells and tissues function, enabling organisms to live and interact with their environment. Physiologists answer key questions ranging from the workings inside single cells to the interactions between human populations and our environment on earth and beyond. Physiology plays a crucial role in integrating environmental influences and new molecular discoveries with the function of tissues and organs, and ultimately the whole body. Our graduate programs provide advanced studies and research in major fields: comparative respiratory and cardiovascular physiology, neurophysiology (electrophysiology, cellular imaging in neurons and glial cells, in vitro and in vivo studies of cerebral ischemia), vascular function, ion channels and endogenous gases, calcium channels and neuroendocrine secretion, hemoxygenase system and cardiovascular pathology.
