Abstract
Evolutionary physiology is a term which is not unique in meaning. On one hand, it conveys the idea of functional development in the period of growth and development of any individual from its birth to death, on the other, the development of function in animals of various systematic groups since the first forms of life appeared on the Earth. The term biological evolution embraces irreversible historical development of all living things. There is, however, some difference in what the words “development” and “evolution” are taken to mean by Russian and foreign authors. In my opinion, to avoid any possible misunderstanding it should be made quite clear from the very start what we put in the term.
