Study Notes

Anatomy

Anatomy is the study of the body's structures.
Gross Anatomy focuses on structures visible without magnification.
Microscopic Anatomy focuses on structures needing magnification to be seen, such as cells and tissues (cytology and histology).
Regional Anatomy examines the interconnectedness of all structures in a specific body region, like the abdomen.
Systemic Anatomy studies structures that form a specific body system (group of structures working together for a function), like the muscular system.

Physiology

Physiology is the study of how the body functions, encompassing the chemistry and physics of body structures.
A key focus in physiology is homeostasis, the maintenance of stable internal conditions.
Physiology often involves laboratory experiments to study the functions of structures and chemical compounds.
Neurophysiology, a branch of physiology, focuses on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and how they function.
Form and function are interconnected in all living things. The structure of a part directly affects its function.
