Morphology
electrophysiologic = electrophysiology (semi-transparent) = electro + physio + logy + ic
The adjective is a regular formation from the technical noun 'electrophysiology', but the specialized base term may not be familiar to lower-level learners.
Etymology
The word electrophysiologic starts with electro- meaning 'electric' and uses physio- meaning 'body' or 'nature', with the familiar words electric and physiology showing these parts. So it simply means the 'electric' activity of living cells and tissues, which is why it relates to their electrical function.
