Anatomy and Physiology

Anatomy is the study of the body's structures—such as bones, muscles, organs, and tissues—and how they are organized. Physiology is the study of how these parts work individually and together to keep your body functioning properly, like breathing, digesting, and moving. Essentially, anatomy focuses on what things are, while physiology explains how they do their jobs. Together, they help us understand the body's design and processes, enabling better health and treatment when something goes wrong.
