Document Summary

The foundation of physiology: structural and functional organization. The science of structure and the relationships among structures i. e. , the study of the structural design of the body look at relationship between individual parts too. Structure of a part determines how it will function: shape of teeth for tearing and grinding food, design of heart for receiving and pumping blood. Physiological mechanisms are possible through structural design: structure-function relationship. Heart designed to receive and pump blood. Hinge-like elbow joint permit bending of the elbow. The science of the microscopic structure of biological material- ways in which individual components are structurally and functionally related. Anatomy and physiology you will look at the gross function. Distinction between each 3 of these are quiet blurred. In order for our structure to function properly, it must be organized in a very special way. Organization becomes an important components in physiology mechanisms.
