what is the difference between anatomy and physiology

Dear saurabh,
I would like to explain the difference between anatomy and physiology.
The word anatomy means structure , while physiology refers to function '.
Anatomy is the concept that deals with the study of structure like muscles, bones and interior organs of the body. It is the kind of static research.
Whereas,
Physiology is the concepts that deal with the study of functions of different organs like digestion, respiration, reproduction, osmoregulation.

Also,
Anatomy is important in the understanding of the anatomy of a living organism is vital to know about every part of the body.
Whereas,
Physiology is important in the understanding of the physiology of a living organism is essential to know the function of every organ of the body.

Another difference is,
Anatomy deals with the body's structure, different parts like cells, tissues, organs and organ system, etc.
And,
Physiology deals with the working of the body's part and their specific roles.

I would like to give one example so that you can understand the difference between anatomy and physiology,
Anatomy of the heart means, the structure of the heart, its chambers, arteries, veins, the valves, etc.
And, Physiology means how the pumping of the blood is done by heart.

I hope you understand the difference between anatomy and physiology.

All the best.

Hello Saurabh,

Anatomy is the study of structure of normal human body like muscles,bones,arteries and organs and so on. Focusing on its orientation in the body and relation to other structures

Physiology is the study of function of normal human body like how the heart pumps the blood or how the kidneys filter the blood or how the brain works.

Hope this will help.
