Anatomy and Physiology

Anatomy and physiology have always had a close, complementary relationship in understanding the human body. Anatomy describes Slice Master the structure of the body and its parts, while physiology explains how these parts function.

For example, the anatomy of the heart tells us about the structure of the heart chambers, the heart valves, and the blood vessels, while cardiac physiology explains how the heart pumps blood, regulates blood pressure, and supplies oxygen to the organs. The coordination of structure and function is a key factor in maintaining life and health.
