Anatomy and Physiology

In this essay will be writing and explain about cardiovascular system. Explaining how it is structured, how it functions and how this two rates to each other and defining anatomy and physiology. My particular area of interest is the heart. The cardiovascular system includes the heart and the blood vessels.   Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human body and the physical relationships between body system e.g. organs, cells and tissues. Physiology is the study of how the body works and the way in which their integrated activities maintaining life and health of the individual for example how the heart beats and pumps blood to the whole body. Anatomy and physiology are related because anatomy cannot work without physiology. Function always reflects the structure and therefore the two works hand in hand with one another.   Anatomy and physiology therefore are inseparable, because they work together
The heart is a muscular organ; it is positioned in between the lung just to the left of the For the body to work properly and carry out all its required functions there has to be a balance in all body systems, organs, tissues and cells, this is where anatomy and physiology are related by working together. The body maintain its stable condition and effective functioning through homeostasis. Thus physiology and anatomy work hand in hand to maintain survival of the body.
Cells that make up the basic unit of levels of organisation in the body consists of molecules and atoms, these include oxygen, nitrogen and other chemicals that are essential for the survival of the body. There are different types of cells and nerve cell is one of them. Tissues in the body are made up of cells that are similar in structure and have a special specific function also different shapes and sizes. There are four different types of tissues the connective, muscle, epithelial and nerve tissue. Two or more tissue types that perform a certain function or functions grouped together make up an...
