Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and body part and their relationship to one another.
Anatomy from the Greek words

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Physiology is the study of how

the body and its parts work or function. (physio = nature; ology= study of) Neurophysiology study of the nervous system Cardiac physiology studies the functions of the heart

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

The parts of your body form a well

organized unit, and each of those parts has a job to do to make the body operate as a whole.

LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION

Six Levels of Organization 1. Chemical Level 2. Cell Level 3. Tissue Level 4. Organ Level 5. Organ System Level 6. Organism Level

Structural and Functional Organization

1. Chemical Level Atoms

(colored balls) combine to form molecules 2.Cell Level Molecules form organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria, which make up cells 3.Tissue Level Similar cells and surrounding materials make up tissues

Structural and Functional Organization

4.Organ Level Different tissues combine to form organs, such as the urinary bladder
5.Organ System Level Organs such as the urinary bladder and kidneys make up an organ system 6.Organism Level Organ systems make up an organism
