Cytophysiology is the branch of physiology that studies the functions of the cell, which is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. It focuses on how cellular structures and organelles work together to maintain normal cell activity.
This discipline explains essential cellular processes such as membrane transport, energy production, cell communication, and cell division. By understanding these mechanisms, cytophysiology helps explain how cells maintain homeostasis and how cellular dysfunction can lead to disease.
Cytophysiology therefore provides a fundamental basis for understanding normal physiology and the development of pathological conditions.
