What are branches of anatomy and physiology concerned with? (2)
- Form of the body
2. Functions of the body
Anatomy
The study of the structure of an organism and the relationship of its part
Physiology
The study of the functions of living organisms and their parts
Gross anatomy
Is the study of the body and its parts relying only on the naked eye as a tool for observations

2. Cellular physiology
What are 3 examples of systemic functions in physiology?
- Respiratory physiology
- Neurophysiology
- Cardiovascular physiology
What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology?
Function depends on physical structure and physical structure depends on function
What is an example of the relationship between anatomy and physiology?
Bones give strength to the body
What are autopoeisis? (2)
Living organisms that are

- Self maintaining
How do you know if the cell is alive?
If it is made of one or more cells
