Marine physiology is the study of the biological functions and processes of marine organisms, including how they interact with their environment, maintain homeostasis, and adapt to changing conditions. It covers a broad range of topics, including the physiology of marine invertebrates, fishes, and marine mammals.
Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical properties of biological systems, including the structure, function, and movement of organisms. In marine biomechanics, researchers focus on how marine organisms move and interact with their environment, including the hydrodynamics of swimming, feeding, and sensory systems.
Marine physiology and biomechanics are closely related fields, as the physiological functions of marine organisms often dictate their biomechanical adaptations. For example, the structure of a fish's fins and tail is closely tied to its swimming ability, while the structure of a whale's ear is linked to its ability to communicate underwater. Understanding the physiological and biomechanical adaptations of marine organisms is essential for understanding their ecology, behavior, and evolution.
