Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the difference between anatomy and physiology?

Anatomy is the study of body structures, while physiology is the study of how those structures function.

Anatomy and physiology both study only the external features of the body.

Anatomy focuses on chemical reactions in the body, while physiology focuses on body movement.

Anatomy is concerned with disease processes, while physiology is concerned with medical treatments.

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by defining anatomy. Anatomy is the branch of science that studies the structure and organization of the body, including organs, tissues, and systems. It focuses on the physical form and arrangement of body parts.

Step 2: Define physiology. Physiology is the branch of science that studies the functions and processes of the body, explaining how the structures of the body work together to sustain life.

Step 3: Compare anatomy and physiology. Anatomy deals with 'what' the body is made of (structures), while physiology deals with 'how' those structures function and interact.

Step 4: Evaluate the provided answer choices. Eliminate options that incorrectly describe anatomy and physiology, such as those focusing solely on external features, chemical reactions, or medical treatments.

Step 5: Identify the correct answer: 'Anatomy is the study of body structures, while physiology is the study of how those structures function,' as this accurately captures the distinction between the two fields.
