Anatomy & Physiology
Anatomy
- Study of structure + shape of body within systems
- Parts + Components
Physiology
- Study of how the body works + systems/functions
❖ Function depends on structure
➢ How something is put together is directly related to what it does
➢ Function is also compromised by age
■ Older → Less likely to work better
❖ Anatomy
➢ Gross Anatomy
■ Larger structure that are easily observable
➢ Microscopic Anatomy
■ Small structures that cannot be seen by the naked eye
● I.e. cells and tissues
❖ Structural Organization
➢ 6 Levels
■ Atoms
● Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, + Nitrogen
■ Cells
■ Tissues
■ Organs
■ Organ Systems
■ Organisms
❖ Body Systems
➢ Integumentary System
■ Skin, Hair, Nails
■ Separate and Protect inside + Outside
■ Largest System
