Abstract
The tier architecture of any living system is characterized by its communication means and regulation procedures. It enables integration of environmental changes to adapt. Multiple molecules interact to create the adaptable activity of the cells, tissues, organs, and body. Any integrative model then incorporates a set of models developed at distinct length scales and includes characteristic times to efficiently describe the structure-function relationships of the explored physiological system.
