Physiology vs. Anatomy

• What is the definition of anatomy?

  Anatomy is the study of body structure
• What processes does physiology explore?

  Processes that allow organs and systems to work
• What is the title of the right side of the image?

  Physiology
• How does anatomy provide a different perspective compared to physiology?

  Anatomy shows organization, physiology shows function
• What is the definition of physiology?

  Study of how living things function
• What does a modern nerve diagram illustrate in the context of anatomy and physiology?

  It illustrates the study of function
• How does understanding physiology help in health?

  Reveals how the body works to stay healthy
• Why is understanding physiology important for overall health?

  It helps understand internal processes keeping us alive
• What happens during respiration?

  Lungs expand and contract for air exchange
• What is the title of the left side of the image?

  Anatomy
• What is the role of the heart in circulation?

  It pumps blood to all body parts
• What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology?

  • Anatomy is the study of the structure and parts of the body
  • Physiology is the study of how the body and its parts function
  • Anatomy and physiology are closely related and interdependent
• What is the function of the circulatory system?

  • Transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body
  • Regulate body temperature
  • Defend against infections
• How does the function of arteries differ from veins in the circulatory system?

  Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart
• What is digestion?

  The breakdown of food to absorb nutrients
• How do the images on the left and right sides of the image differ in their focus?

  The left side focuses on the structure of the body, while the right side focuses on the function of the body
• What is the name of the largest artery in the body?

  Aorta
• How do anatomy and physiology work together?

  Anatomy shows structure, physiology explains function
• What is respiration?

  The process of breathing and gas exchange
• How does the stomach contribute to digestion?

  It uses acids to break down food
• What does anatomy study?

  Structure of the body
• How does the brain function in the nervous system?

  It processes information to react to the environment
• What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology in understanding the human body?

  • Anatomy shows where organs are located
  • Physiology explains how organs function
  • Both are necessary for a complete understanding
• If a patient has a blocked artery, which medical procedure could be used to restore blood flow?

  Bypass surgery
• Which blood vessel is associated with the head?

  Carotid artery
• What does anatomy focus on in the body?

  Physical arrangement and components of the body
• How can understanding anatomy help in understanding physiology?

  • Knowing the structure of body parts can provide insights into how they function
  • Understanding the relationships between different anatomical structures can explain physiological processes
  • Identifying anatomical abnormalities can help diagnose and treat physiological disorders
• How do the anatomical structures of the circulatory system relate to physiological processes?

  • They form a network transporting blood
  • Link to oxygen transport (respiration)
  • Link to waste removal (excretion)
• What are the main components of the circulatory system?

  • Heart
  • Blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
  • Blood
• How does physiology differ from anatomy?

  Physiology studies function, anatomy studies structure
• What does anatomy study?

  Physical structure and organization
• Why is the pulmonary artery labeled in blue?

  It carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
• What are the key physiological processes and their related organs?

  • Respiration: Lungs
  • Circulation: Heart
  • Digestion: Stomach
  • Excretion: Kidneys
  • Nervous System Function: Brain
• What does physiology study?

  Function of the body
• If anatomy shows the heart's location, what does physiology explain?

  How the heart pumps blood throughout the body
• How can the information in this image be used to study the human body?

  • The anatomy side provides a visual reference for the structure of the body
  • The physiology side explains how the body's systems and organs function
  • Integrating the anatomical and physiological information can give a comprehensive understanding of the human body
• What is the image on the right side of the image?

  A diagram of the human body
• What role do kidneys play in excretion?

  They filter waste from the blood
• What are the main anatomical structures of the circulatory system?

  Arteries, veins, and the heart
• How can the circulatory system be used to diagnose and treat medical conditions?

  • Blood pressure measurements
  • Angiograms to visualize blood vessels
  • Bypass surgery to reroute blood flow
  • Stents to open blocked arteries
