  human disease
  WP
  Definition: A disease is a particular abnormal condition (anomaly - anomalies ), a disorder of a structure or function , that affects part or all of an organism.
  The study of diseases forms the pathology. The classification of diseases forms the nosology. The study of the causes of diseases forms the etiology. The study of the mechanisms of diseases forms the physiopathology.

  WP
  Definition : Physiology is the scientific study of the normal functions in living systems.
  A sub-discipline of biology, its focus is in how organisms , organ system s, organs , cells , and biomolecules carry out the chemical functions or physical functions that exist in a living system.
  Given the size of the field, it is divided into, among others, animal physiology (including human physiology ), plant physiology , cellular physiology , microbial physiology (see microbial (...)

• medical phenomenalism
  11 July 2003

  Definition: Phenomenalism is the view that diseases cannot justifiably be said to exist in themselves, but only as perceptual phenomena or sensory stimuli (e.g. clinical signs , symptoms , morphological anomalies , physiological anomalies , etc.) situated in time and in space.

  biofunctions WKP
  Definition: A biological function is the reason some object or process occurred in a system that evolved through natural selection.
  That reason is typically that it achieves some result, such as that chlorophyll helps to capture the energy of sunlight in photosynthesis.
  Hence, the organism that contains it is more likely to survive and reproduce, in other words the function increases the organism’s fitness.
  A characteristic that assists in evolution is called an (...)
