Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology: Foundations and Key Concepts

Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology

Overview

Anatomy and Physiology are foundational sciences in understanding the structure and function of the human body. Anatomy focuses on the body's structures, while Physiology explores how these structures function and interact to sustain life.

• Anatomy: The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.

• Physiology: The study of the function of the body’s structural machinery.

Key Questions:

• What do you already know about Anatomy and Physiology?

• What questions do you have about Anatomy and Physiology?

These questions encourage students to reflect on their prior knowledge and identify areas for further exploration.
