Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology
About This Book
1.1 Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Learning Objectives By the end of this section you will be able to: - Compare and contrast anatomy and physiology, including their specialisations and methods of study - Discuss the fundamental relationship between anatomy and physiology Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body’s structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analysed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen,
