Cell physiology (or cellular electrophysiology) is the biological study of the cell's mechanism and interaction in its environment. The term "physiology" refers to all the normal functions that take place in a living organism. Absorption of water by roots, production of food in the leaves, and growth of shoots towards light are examples of plant physiology.

In the context of human physiology, cell physiology is often the term used to describe the physiology of membrane transport, neuron transmission, and (less frequently) muscle contraction. In general these cover the digestion of food, circulation of blood and contraction of muscles are some aspects of human physiology.

[edit] Types of cells phisiology

There are two types of cells, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes first came into existence, therefore making their mechanisms much simpler compared to the ladder-evolved Eukaryotes.
