Exploring Human Anatomy and Physiology

This video introduces anatomy and physiology, explaining the concepts of structure and function using a wrench as an analogy. It covers homeostasis and feedback loops, the hierarchy of biological structures, and the four types of tissues: epithelial, muscle, nervous, and connective. The video concludes with an overview of various organ systems and their functions.

What is the primary difference between anatomy and physiology?

• Anatomy studies the structure, while physiology studies the function.

• Anatomy and physiology both study the structure.

• Anatomy and physiology both study the function.

• Anatomy studies the function, while physiology studies the structure.

Which term describes the concept that the form of a structure is related to its function?

• Homeostasis

• Feedback loop

• Hierarchy

• Form fits function
