If you understand what is wrong with the patient, you can compose a mechanism to treat them. We are trying to understand how does the human body work? : pathophysiology vs. physiology. Pathophysiology: functional changes associated with disease and aging. Anatomy: the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. Physiology: the branch of biology that deals with the study of organ function and interaction.
