Anatomy and Physiology 1

Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts, while physiology is the study of how the body and its parts function. Anatomy can be studied at both the gross/macroscopic level without a microscope or the microscopic level requiring a microscope. Physiology can be divided into cellular, organ, systemic, and pathological physiology. Key figures in the development of anatomy and physiology include Epistratus, Claude Bernard, and William Harvey. Characteristics of living things studied in physiology include organization, metabolism, responsiveness, digestion, growth, development, reproduction, and homeostasis.
