      As physiologists, we all specialise in Biology broadly speaking. Althoug Biology is the umbrella term for our field.
      I term myself as an exercise physiologist and some of the other guys in this group may term themselves something different!

      I would agree with Liam, being a human physiologist, we are really looking at human biology, and how all the systems in the human body work together to make us function. Of course, this has a big overlap with chemistry and physics, for example, when we look at how a muscle works we have to know lots about certain chemicals such as calcium and sodium, because they are important in muscle function, and to know how to record the electrical signals from the nerves to see how well they are working, we have to know some physics too!
