A physiological reaction would often refer to how the body physically reacts to something such as a drug. It is the function of living systems and includes how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells and bio molecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system. Physiology is a scientific study of an organism’s vital functions, including growth and development, the absorption and processing of nutrients, the synthesis and distribution of proteins and other organic molecules, and the functioning of different tissues, organs, and other anatomic structures. Physiology studies the normal mechanical, physical, and biochemical processes of animals and plants.

You probably won't like my answer. The best way to learn the subject and be able to write a successful essay is to understand all of the terms. If a definition is unclear then research the terms in the definition that are causing you trouble. Try Googling the different terms, searching them out in a thesaurus, or other search engine. The other thing you could try is discussing it with a classmate or skimming the class text for the terms and then reading the section. Repeat research steps as necessary in order to understand all of the vocabulary. Good Luck! :D
