Anatomy is the branch of science that studies the
structures associated with the human body.
Physiology is the branch of science that studies
the function of each of these structures.
The
human body is often considered as a complicated machine. For the
machine to work properly it must have all of its parts and also
each of these parts must function to the maximum level. If organs
or organ systems are not functioning properly, then the patient is
called as diseased.
In
order to treat the patient with a disease, we must understand how
the body is structured and functions when the body is
healthy.
