What is the distinction between the fields of anatomy and physiology?
Anatomy, from the Greek anatome, meaning "to cut" or "dissect," is the study of pieces, the sum of which makes up the whole. Human anatomy, then, is the study of the various organ systems which make up the human organism.This same definition can be extrapolated to any other complex system. Ship anatomy, then could be the study of rudders, sails, planking and anchors - all of the systems which, together, make a ship, a ship. Physiology, on the other hand, is from the Greek physi + logia, "meaning the study of the combined form," is the study of the organs vital functions. This includes growth and development, self replication, function of organ systems, and the absorption and processing of nutrients. These are all studied in the normal subject. The study of the disordered subject is Pathophysiology, and deals with the "physiology of disease."

How are cold blooded animals and warm blooded animals alike?

Can you take basic human biology and human anatomy and physioloy at the same time?
Basic biology covers material which includes the basics of anatomy and physiology of cells as well as broader topics such as ecology and the evolution of life. You must have a good grasp of cellular biology to fully appreciate human anatomy and physiology because humans are composed of cells with varying functions.You can have a superficial course of human anatomy and physiology without understanding cellular biology, but that is somewhat getting ahead of yourself. If you REALLY want to understand, learn basic biology before human A&P.Source: Me, I'm in my third year of medical school.
How does lizards breathe?
The same way most animals do - using its lungs !
What are the function of physiology?
The function of physiology is to teach you the functions of body tissues and organs. The function of anatomy is to teach you structure of body tissue and organs. When the function can be briefly taught or the same is to be demonstrated easily, the anatomist will teach the same.
When do you take an anatomy & physiology course?
Most medical students, for the same reasons as you, take it before medical school. This gets the difficult class out of the way and allows you to move onto other things.
Is the mummification process different or the same for animals?
The principles are identical, though due to differences in anatomy the details are slightly different.
Give ten reasons why nurses should study anatomy and physiology?
1) You have to know anatomy to be a nurse. 2) The same applies to their coworkers; they will be clueless. 3) They could do something wrong in a surgery. 4) You could not be employed as a nurse if you don't know anatomy. 5) You have to know the terms medical reports are saying. 6) Your patient is counting on you. 7) Your coworkers are counting on you. 8) You could mess up the surgery if you do not know your anatomy. 9) You could give a patient a wrong prescription if you do not know what you are doing. 10) It is just common sense to only go into the medical field with a knowledge of human anatomy and physiology.
The blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide where?
The blood picks up oxygen from the lungs and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs as well. Oxygen is transported to the tissues where it is needed, while carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs to be exhaled.
How do the lungs of an African lungfish work?
The same way as other animals with "lungs". Air is taken into the body and gaseous exchange occurs with the red blood cells. The "lungs" of a lungfish are much simpler in structure than those of a mammal. They are just simple sacs, rather then the spongelike structures of mammal lungs. The general way they work is the same as a mammal's lungs, but they are not as efficient, having a smaller surface area.
