This article analyzes the manifestation of the laws of thermodynamics in living organisms and their importance in medical science on a scientific basis. The human body is considered as an open thermodynamic system, and the concepts of energy exchange, heat regulation, metabolic processes and entropy are covered from a biophysical point of view. Also, fever, hypothermia, burns encountered in clinical practice, and the application of thermodynamics in modern medical technologies are considered. The article is intended for students and researchers studying medicine and biophysics.
