A scientist who studies the physical aspects of the body's structures and functions in living organisms.
From 'bio-' (life) + 'physiologist' (from Greek physis, nature + -logia, study + -ist, one who studies). This term emerged to distinguish scientists studying physical/structural aspects from pure biochemists.
A biophysiologist might study how your muscles convert chemical energy into mechanical movement—it's the bridge between 'what is it made of?' and 'how does it work?'
