NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Physiology focuses on function, or how structures at different levels work. Anatomy and physiology are intimately related. A hand is able to grab things (function) because the length, shape, and mobility of the fingers (form) determine what things a hand can grab (function).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Physiology depends on anatomy because the function of a body part is most commonly associated with it’s location and structure. Sometimes, a body part is not able to perform a function because its structure does not allow it. Thus physiology and anatomy are related to one another.
