| | Human physiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Human physiology is one of the basic sciences of medical study, and as such is most often applied as medical care. | | | Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of normal humans or human tissues or organs. | | | Most aspects of human physiology are closely homologous to corresponding aspects of animal physiology, and animal experimentation has provided much of the foundation of physiological knowledge. |

| | Human biology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The study of development from fertilized cell to fully developed body is studied in developmental biology, the structure of the developed human body is studied in human anatomy and its function in human physiology. | | | The human body can develop problems, and these are studied in medicine. | | | Even though humans are multicellular animals, many of the basic life processes of human cells are basically the same as in simple unicellular eukaryotes such as yeast and even prokaryotes. |

| | Behavior - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Animal behavior is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, behavioral ecology and sociobiology. | | | Behavior should not be mistaken with social behavior, which is more advanced action, as social behavior is behavior specifically directed at other people. | | | Behavior can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary. |

| | Humanism as a philosophy defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which seeks to include all of humanity and all issues common to human beings. | | | The human body is subject to an ageing process and to illness. | | | Human beings are one of five species to pass the mirror test – which tests whether an animal recognises its reflection as an image of itself – along with chimpanzees or bonobos, orangutans, and dolphins. |

| | Mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although Freud did not deny that the mind was a function of the brain, he held the mind has, as it were, a mind of its own, of which we are not conscious, which we cannot control, and which can be accessed only though psychoanalysis (particularly the interpretation of dreams). | | | Huxley's rationalism, however, was disturbed in the early 20th century by the ideas of Sigmund Freud, who developed a theory of the unconscious mind, and argued that those mental processes of which humans are subjectively aware are only a small part of their total mental activity. | | | Modern theories, based on a scientific understanding of the brain, see the mind as a phenomenon of psychology, and the term is often used more or less synonymously with consciousness. |

| | Finally, and perhaps most significantly, the human brain appears hard-wired with certain abilities, such as the ability to learn language, to interact with experienced and not chosen emotions, and usually develops within a culture. | | | Human consciousness involves both the extended capacity of the modern neocortex in particular as well as profoundly developed prototypical structures of the brain stem. | | | Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. |

| | Human sexual behavior in most individuals is typically influenced, or heavily affected by norms from the culture in which the individual lives. | | | The sexuality of human beings comprises a broad range of behavior and processes, including the physiological, psychological, social, cultural, political, and spiritual or religious aspects of sex and human sexual behavior. | | | Human sexuality can also be understood as part of the social life of humans, governed by implied rules of behavior and the status quo. |

| | This confusing ambiguity of perception is exploited in human technologies such as camouflage, and also in biological mimicry, for example by Peacock butterflies, whose wings bear eye markings that birds respond to as though they were the eyes of a dangerous predator. | | | Methods of studying perception range from essentially biological or physiological approaches, through psychological approaches to the often abstract 'thought-experiments' of mental philosophy. | | | Perception is one of the oldest fields within scientific psychology, and there are correspondingly many theories about its underlying processes. |

| | Human ecology is an academic discipline that deals with the relationship between humans and their (natural) environment. | | | Human Ecology is an interdisciplinary applied field that uses a holistic approach to help people solve problems and enhance human potential within their near environments - their clothing, family, home, and community. | | | Humans are no longer seen as an exceptional species that uses culture to adapt to new environments and environmental change, influenced more by social than by biological variables, but rather as one species out of many that interacts with a bounded natural environment. |

| | Other arguments are that a human life would be manufactured (made by man hand) with specifications, being treated as an object, instead of being an individual with his own identity, and at risk of being treated as second-class individual. | | | Interestingly, advocates of 'downloading consciousness' of human minds (with or without the physical brain) into robot bodies (such as Marvin Minsky) are rarely subjected to the intense criticism reserved for Raelism. | | | Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing human or growing cloned tissue from that individual. |

| | Anatomy can also be subdivided into biological processes—for example, developmental anatomy, the study of embryos, and pathological anatomy, the study of diseased organs. | | | Other subdivisions, such as surgical anatomy and anatomical art, are based on the relationship of anatomy to other branches of activity under the general heading of applied anatomy. | | | Still another way to subdivide anatomy is by the techniques employed—for example, microanatomy, which concerns itself with observations made with the help of the microscope (see the section below on the history of anatomy). |
