Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy is the study of the gross structure of the body and the interrelations of its parts.
- Physiology is the science and study of the vital processes, mechanisms, and functions of an organ or system.
- Kinesiology is the scientific study of muscular activity and the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement.
- Pathology is the study of the structural and functional changes caused by disease.
Health and Wellness
- A disease is an abnormal and unhealthy state of all or part of the body, or its systems or organs, wherein it is incapable of carrying on its normal function.
- A symptom is subjective evidence of disease or bodily disorder; a clear message to the organism that something is wrong.
