ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body’s structures. Physiology explains how the structures of the body work together to maintain life. It is difficult to study the structure (anatomy) without knowledge of the function (physiology). The two disciplines are typically studied together because form and function are closely related in all living things.
