Anatomy & Physiology - Intro of Visible Body Systems

The first step to understanding human anatomy is understanding how body systems work. Rather than focusing on individual organs, students should focus on a system's overall function. Considering the unique arrangement of the bones of the hand and thumb in opposition to the four fingers, for example, can help students appreciate the hand's functions. By gaining an appreciation for these relationships, students will be better equipped to understand the body's intricate structures and their functions.

Anatomy & Physiology: Anatomy and physiology are two separate areas of study. Gross anatomy is the study of large body structures without magnification, while microscopic anatomy deals with smaller structures, such as cells, tissues, and organs. Microscopical anatomy focuses on the relationships between different body structures. This includes histology and cytology, as well as other advanced topics.
