Anatomy: the study of the structure of different body components and their inter-relatedness to one another. Physiology: the study of various bodily functions and how organ systems work together to sustain life. Structure and function are tightly correlated to one another. The cell is the individual unit of life. Physiology focuses on cellular activities and chemical reactions. Need to know anatomy similar to physiological systems relationship between structure and function. 1: bodily activities are dependent on energy availability information ow occurs to coordinate bodily activities. 3: homeostasis is needed to maintain a stable internal environment. Physical and chemical conditions must be maintained within acceptable limits despite constantly changing internal and external environments. Ph of extracellular uid must remain relatively neutral. Even slight deviations can quickly cause cell death to occur. Conditions that must be maintained in order to support life include: Conditions required for homeostasis do no indicate equilibrium. Physical features of the cell prevent equilibrium from occurring.
