Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Measuring the acid content of the stomach would relate more closely to the science of ____
A
anatomy
B
physiology
C
Both anatomy and physiology
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Measuring acid content in the stomach would most likely by an anatomical study, as it is observing structure and constitution, rather than saying how the stomach and acid work. However, the measurements could be a precursor to some physiological work, studying how structure affects function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anatomy (from Ancient Greek (anatomḗ) ‘dissection’) is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physiology explains how the structures of the body work together to maintain life. It is difficult to study structure (anatomy) without knowledge of function (physiology). The two disciplines are typically studied together because form and function are closely related in all living things.

Detailed explanation-4: -While an anatomy lab is primarily concerned with dissection, a physiology lab may include experimentation to determine the reaction of cells or systems to change.
