Anatomy is the study of Form or Structure.
Physiology is the study of Function.
We are always learning more about both
Anatomy and Physiology.
Remember : Form affects Function
Metabolism is all the chemical reaction that occurin the body.
Homeostasis is a constant internal environmentachieved by the interaction of all the body systems
Emergent Properties - The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Living things are much more than just a bag of parts.
Synergy
All the chemical reactions of the body
are controlled by feedback mechanisms
