Performs experiments to determine effects of internal and external environmental factors on life processes and functions, using microscope, x-ray equipment, spectroscope, and other equipment. Studies glands and their relationship to bodily functions. May specialize in physiology of particular body area, function, or system. May specialize in physiology of animals and be designated Animal Physiologist (profess. & kin.); of plants and be designated Plant Physiologist (profess. & kin.); of human organisms and be designated Medical Physiologist (medical ser.).

 | In her laboratory, plant physiologist Katrina Cornish checks seedlings produced for use in experiments to improve guayule plants.

First she cools thin slices of seed tissues sealed in tiny aluminum pans (held in tweezers) to -170°C. The relationship she finds between a seed's water content, temperature at which its heat capacity changes, and size of the change give clues about the nature of glasses that form.

 | Plant physiologist Christina Walters is lowering a container of seeds into a vat of liquid nitrogen that will cryopreserve them. These vats can hold 5,000 containers of up to 2,000 seeds each. The longevity of seeds stored in this fashion is projected to be thousands of years, but scientist periodically remove samples to assess their viability and vigor.
