Anatomy vs. Physiology
This field of study focuses on structure of body parts.
What is anatomy?

What is respiratory?
In anatomical position, the palms are facing this direction.
What is forward (anterior)?
This plane divides the body into left and right portions.
What is the sagittal plane?
Towards the top of the body/head.
What is superior?
This field of study focuses on the function of body parts.
What is physiology?
This system provides long-term/slow communication throughout the body via hormones.
What is endocrine?
The skeleton consisting of the head, trunk, and spinal column.
What is the axial skeleton?
This plane divides the body into front and back portions.
What is the coronal (frontal) plane?
Toward the midline of the body.
What is medial?
Anatomy that studies structures not visible without magnification.
