introduction

Question 1

define physiology

Answer 1

study of the normal functioning of a living organism and its component parts. it also the science of the normal functions of the body and its mechanisms since it explains how body structures work and why they work.

Question 2

define anatomy

Answer 2

branch of science which deals with the structure, position and size of organs as well as describes the minute structures of cells and organelles microscopically.

Question 3

define pathology

Answer 3

the study of what is not normal, the patterns, causes, mechanisms and effect of diseases. It is concerned on gross and microscopic changes in structure which affects the function of the organ.

Question 4

define pathophysiology

Answer 4

the study of physiology in diseased state. It emphasizes the alterations in the normal function because of changes in structure.

Question 5

why is anatomy and physiology interlinked

Answer 5

because in order to understand the functions of the different organs and systems in our body, we should be able to locate and identify these organs

reproductive system

Question 31

can an organ be part of more than one system

Answer 31

yes. for example, the liver is part of the digestive system but also part of the excretory system. the pancreas also in digestive system, secretes enzymes that can break down fats, proteins and starch, but also produces hormones like insulin to regulate blood sugar leveles (endorcrine system)

Question 32

is a cardiologist an expert of anatomy or physiology

Answer 32

both. because in order to treat the patient, you must be able to identify the problem and how to treat it. both requires intense knowledge on the field of anatomy and physiology
