Anatomy is the scientific study of the body's structures. Or form.


Physiology is thestudy of the chemistryand physics of thebody. Or function.


Gross anatomy The examination of relatively large structures and features, usually visible with the
unaided eye
Examples:
▫ Surface anatomy
▫ Regional anatomy
▫ Systemic anatomy


Microscopic anatomy The examination of structures that can not be seen without magnification.
Can be divided into:
▫ Cytology - The study of cells
▫ Histology - The study of tissues
