Anatomy and Physiology

What comes to your mind when we say anatomy and physiology?

Bones, structure, functions, examination of human body, and so many more. 

Well as i listen to my teacher i found out the answers.

In general, Anatomy is the study of internal and external structure of not only human body but also plants and animals. To truly understand how something works it is important to know how it is put together. Anatomy is from the Greek language which means to “cut apart” which is exactly you must do to see how a thing is put together. 

Anatomy is subdivided into two, microscopic and macroscopic or sometimes called gross anatomy. Microscopic anatomy is the study of structures that can be seen and examined only by magnification or through microscope like cytology and histology. While gross or macroscopic anatomy represents the study of structure visible to naked eye. An example of this is viewing an x-ray of the leg to determine the type and location of broken bone.

The study of the function and vital process of structures making up the body is what we call Physiology. It is the study of how an anatomical structure such as a cell or bone actually functions. It deals with vial process of life and is more complex. 

Therefore, it does makes sense to combine these two sciences into anatomy and physiology to form the foundation for all medical practice.  :) I can explain this subject by telling examples so that people can easily understand the topic. There is nothing i can suggest because my teacher explained it well. ^_-
