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 occur in the body.

Homeostasis is a constant internal environment achieved 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
