physiologisch vs normal

normal

'normal' and 'physiologisch' can both mean that something is not unusual or pathological. The difference lies in the context. 'normal' is a general everyday word and fits almost any area. 'physiologisch' is a more technical word from medicine and biology. It describes normal processes in the body or in an organism. In everyday language, people usually say 'normal'. 'physiologisch' sounds more precise when talking about bodily functions, measured values, or biological processes.
