Study Notes

Anatomy and Physiology

  • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body.
  • Physiology is the study of the functions of the body.
  • The two disciplines are inseparable as structure dictates function.
  • For example, the lungs have thin walls, which allows them to exchange gases.

Levels of Structural Organization

  • The structural ladder begins with the chemical level, where atoms combine to form molecules.
  • Molecules associate to form microscopic cells.
  • Tissues are groups of similar cells with a common function.
  • Organs are composed of two or more tissue types that perform a specific function.
  • For example, the small intestine digests food.
