Morphology
electrophysiology = physiology (semi-transparent) = electro + physio + logy
The word is built by adding electro- to the technical base physiology, but the full scientific meaning is somewhat specialized rather than immediately obvious.
Etymology
Electrophysiology joins electro- ('electricity') and physiology ('how living bodies work'), like the everyday word electric and the familiar word physiology. So, it means the study of electrical activity in cells and tissues.
