Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology:Crash Course A&P #1

Every movement you make, and every new day that you live to see, is the result of what?

of a collection of systems working together to function properly

What is the study of the structure and relationships between body parts?

Anatomy

What is the science of how those parts come together to function, and keep that body alive?

Physiology

What term describes what your body is

physiology

Anatomy and physiology combine to form what?

function follows form

function of a cell or organ reflect its form

complementarity of structure and function

what a structure can do depends on its specific form
