Overview
Anatomy is the study of body stru a s a s a s a s a s a s



c-
ture, whereas physiology is the study
as as a s as as as a s



of how the body
as as as



functions. Anything t as as



hat disrupts normal body structure or fu
as as a s as as as



nction is a disease, and the study of dise
as as as as as as as as



ase is called pathology.

Living things ar e or ganized fr om s as as a s as as as as as



imple to complex levels. The simplest li
as as as as as as



ving form is the cell, the basic unit of lif

e. Specialized cells ar e grouped into tis
as as as as as as as



sues, which in turn ar e combined to f
as as a s as as as as as



orm organs; these organs form sys-
as as as as as



tems, which work together to maintain

the body. as



The systems are the as as as




▪ Integumentary system, the body’ s as as as a s as



covering
▪ Skeletal system, the framework of th as as as as as



e body as




▪ Muscular system, which moves the as as as as as



bones and the skin of the face as as as as as as




▪ Nervous system, the central control as as as as as



system that includes the or gans of t as as as as as as as



he sensory system as as




▪ Endocrine system, which produces as as as as



regulatory hormones as




▪ Cardiovascular system, consisting as as as



of the heart and blood vessels, act -
as as as as as as as



ing to transport vital substances

▪ Lymphatic system, which includes as as as as



vessels that r as as
