    Anatomy investigates body structure through dissection, while physiology investigates processes and functions. The study of human physiology looks at the human organism specifically, including systemic physiology which studies organ systems and cellular physiology which studies individual cells. Understanding anatomy and physiology is important for comprehending how the body responds to stimuli, environmental changes, cues, diseases, and injuries. There are different types of anatomy, including systemic which studies organ systems, regional which studies body regions, and surface which looks at external features. Anatomical imaging uses technologies like x-rays, ultrasound, and MRI.

    • Human Physiology:

    • studies the human organism Systemic Physiology: • studies body organ-systems


    Cellular Physiology:

    • studies body cells

    Importance of Anatomy and Physiology

    Understand how the body:

    • responds to stimuli

    • environmental changes

    • environmental cues

    • diseases

    • injury

    Types of Anatomy

    Systemic:
    • studies body organ-systems Regional:

    • studies body regions (medical schools) Surface:
