Anatomy studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. It is concrete. Body parts can be seen, felt, and examined closely; it is not necessary to imagine what they look like. Physiology concerns the function of the body, in other words, how all the body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities. Physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying anatomy.
Anatomy and Physiology
Under Anatomy and Physiology there are specific subdivisions. The subdivisions of anatomy are gross, or macroscopic, anatomy, regional anatomy, regional anatomy, systematic anatomy, surface anatomy, microscopic anatomy, and developmental anatomy. The subdivisions of physiology are renal physiology, neuro-physiology, and cardiovascular physiology.
