Anatomy and Physiology Definition

The terms Anatomy and Phsyiology can be defined as the science of the structures of the body (anatomy) combined with the science of the functions of the body (physiology).

In broad terms, anatomy looks at physical parts that make up the body, including, the skeleton, the skin, the brain, teeth, etc; where as the term physiology looks at how these structures function to achieve the goals of the human body.

Therefore the definition of anatomy and physiology is “the study of the parts that make up the structure of the human body and how these parts function to achieve the goals of the human body to exists.”
