En función del tipo de organismo vivo, podemos distinguir dos grandes grupos: \n* Fisiología vegetal, y dentro de esta la fitofisiologia y desarrollada a taxones específicos de plantas. \n* Fisiología animal, y dentro de esta la fisiología humana. La fisiología tiene varias ramas: Fisiología celular, de tejidos, de órganos, veterinaria o animal, humana, y comparada.

Physiology (/ˌfɪziˈɒlədʒi/; from Ancient Greek φύσις (physis), meaning "nature, origin", and -λογία (-logia), meaning "study of") is the scientific study of the normal function in living systems. A sub-discipline of biology, 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 humans), plant physiology, cellular physiology, microbial physiology (microbial metabolism), bacterial physiology, and viral physiology. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded to those who make significant achievements in this discipline by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In medicine, a physiologic state is one occurring from normal body function, rather than pathologically, which is centered on the abnormalities that occur in animal diseases, including humans.
