physiologies
How organisms function
Physiologies is the plural of physiology, the study of how living organisms function—how bodies work at the level of organs, tissues, and cells.
The plural typically appears when comparing different species or systems: The physiologies of mammals and reptiles differ dramatically.
It can also refer to the functional characteristics themselves: desert animals have evolved physiologies adapted to extreme heat.
