Anatomy+and+Physiology

== __WELCOME TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY__ ==

**__Anatomy__** (from the Greek word anatome,"dissection"), is a branch of natural science dealing with the structural ororganization of living things. It is an old science, having its beginnings in prehistoric times. For centuries anatomical knowledge consisted largely of observations of dissected plants and animals. The proper understanding of structure, however, implies a knowledge of function in the living organism. Anatomy is therefore almost inseparable from **__physiology__**, which is sometimes called functional anatomy. As one of the basic life sciences, anatomy is closely related to medicine and to other branches of biology.
