Physiologic
Physiologic (pronounced: /ˌfɪziəˈlɒdʒɪk/) is an adjective that pertains to physiology, the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. The term is derived from the Greek words "physis," which means nature, and "logia," which means study.
Physiologic processes refer to the normal functions of the body, such as respiration, digestion, and circulation. These processes are essential for maintaining life and health. Physiologic also refers to something that is normal, or within the healthy range, as opposed to pathologic, which refers to something that is abnormal or related to disease.
