Anatomy of the body is simply the structures itself and their locations. The physiology describes the functions of these structures and how they interact with one another.
Physiology is the study of the function of body structures including organs. In contrast, anatomy is the study of the structures.
Homologous structures are body parts of different organisms that have a similar form, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. These structures may serve different functions in each organism but share a common ancestry.
Hyphae are the branching, thread-like structures that make up the body of a fungus. They function to absorb nutrients from the environment and provide structural support for the fungus. Hyphae also contribute to the reproductive process by forming structures such as spores or fruiting bodies.
Analogous structures are body parts that have a similar function in different species but have evolved separately, thus not sharing a common ancestor. These structures result from convergent evolution, where organisms adapt to similar environmental pressures.

The branch of science that describes the consequences of improper function of the body is called pathology. Pathology involves the study of diseases to understand their causes, mechanisms, and effects on the body.

Nutrients are chemicals used by plants and animals to build their body structures.

A vestigial is an organ that serves no useful function in an organism.
Vestigial structures. Like the appendix in humans.
That body part is often referred to as a vestigial structure. These are remnants of organs or structures that had a function in the organism's evolutionary past, but have reduced in size or lost their function over time. Examples include the human appendix and tailbone.
