    Physiology is the study of the physical and chemical mechanisms that underlie the origin, development, and progression of life. The human body is composed of many different cell types, each adapted to perform one or a few specialized functions. Red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body, are the most abundant cell type, with around 25 trillion circulating in the human body at any given time.
