Human Anatomy and
Physiology
I took an Anatomy and Physiology class in
college. In lecture, we studied the systems of the body and how they operate together.
We also studied malfunctions of body systems and their causes. In lab, we actually had
cadavers to illustrate the organs of the body systems and to illustrate malfunctions.
For example, I saw plaque in a heart artery of one of the
cadavers.
Generally, anatomy is divided into microscopic
and gross. Microscopic anatomy is a study of morphology of the human body that can be
seen by microscope. Gross anatomy is the study of morphology of the human body with the
naked eye. Anatomy can also be learned regionally as well as systematically. Physiology
is the study of the functioning of living systems. It is how the organ systems, organs,
and cells carry out the chemical or physical function that is in the living
system.
