Anatomy & Physiology
Learn how the human body is built and how its systems work together to keep our bodies moving. Anatomy usually starts with "gross anatomy" or "macroscopic anatomy," the study of the major parts of the body, and progresses to microscopic anatomy including cytology, the study of cells, and regional anatomy, the study of specific regions of the body. Systemic anatomy then looks at the systems that work together to perform specific functions such as breathing, digestion, or the pumping of blood.

What is Anatomy & Physiology?
Anatomy & Physiology is the study of the structure and function of the human body. It is a vast and complex subject, and can be studied at many different levels. It includes the study of the various systems of the body, such as the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems, as well as the study of the individual organs, such as the heart, lungs, and brain.
A basic understanding of anatomy & physiology is essential for anyone working in the health professions, as it provides a solid foundation for further study. For those with a more general interest in the human body, anatomy & physiology can be a fascinating and rewarding subject.
