ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED
A.
Through a study of anatomy and its subdivisions, the body may be examined
at different levels of structural organization.
1. Anatomy may be defined as the study of structure and the
relationships among structures.
2.
Subdivisions of anatomy include: surface anatomy, gross anatomy,
systemic anatomy, regional anatomy, radiographic anatomy,
developmental anatomy, embryology, cytology, and pathological
anatomy .
B. A study of physiology deals with how body parts function: the structure of a
part determines its function.
1.
Physiology is the study of how body structures function.
2.
Subdivisions of physiology include cell physiology, systems
physiology, pathophysiology, exercise physiology, neurophysiology,

endocrinology, cardiovascular physiology, immunophysiology,
respiratory physiology, renal physiology, and reproductive physiology .
