To review:
The blank in the statement, “The study of the form of the body is _________; the study of its functions is _______.”
Introduction:
The body of living organisms ismade up of cells that come together to form tissues. Similar types of tissues associate with each other and perform a specific function forming an organ system. The human body is studied undervarious subjects, like anatomy, physiology, histology, and embryology.
Explanation of Solution
The study of the structure of the human body is called human anatomy. Under thissubject, the organization of the human body is studied. The position and appearance of cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and their relation with other body parts are taken into consideration while studying this subject.
Physiology deals with studying the mechanisms and functions of different body organs/parts present in a living system. Physiology also encompasses the chemical and physical processes that occur within the body.
The study of the form of the body is anatomy; the study of its functions is physiology.
