Anatomy and physiology are foundational sciences in understanding the human body. Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationships between body parts, while physiology focuses on the functions of these parts and how they work together to sustain life. The scope of anatomy encompasses the detailed exploration of bodily structures, from the microscopic cellular level to the complexities of organ systems. Physiology extends this understanding by examining how these structures operate, interact, and adapt to various conditions. The human body is organized into different levels, starting from atoms and molecules, advancing to cells, tissues, organs, and ultimately forming complex body systems. Each system, such as the circulatory, respiratory, or nervous systems, plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis and overall health. This foundational knowledge is essential for health professionals, providing the basis for diagnosing and treating diseases. The integration of anatomy and physiology offers a comprehensive view of how the human body functions in health and disease.
