Part I: Introduction
Definition
Anatomy and physiology are dynamic
(cid:1)
sciences that combine morphological and
structural components with functional
relationships
Anatomy deals with structures and
(cid:1)
morphology (shapes) of parts of the human
body
Physiology on the other hand, deals with
(cid:1)
function; how the structures and morphology
of parts of the body are related to their
functions
Part I: Introduction
Definition
The human body is made of different parts
(cid:1)
and shapes
These parts carryout specific functions based
(cid:1)
on their parts
Collectively, science of anatomy and
(cid:1)
physiology attempts to explain the structure,
morphology, organization and balance of
molecules and their functional relationships
The science of anatomy and physiology has
(cid:1)
developed along with the quest for
knowledge in the treatment of diseases
Part I: Introduction
Definition
During the Roman Era, it was the belief that
(cid:1)
sickness or disease was a result of the anger
of gods and the Romans built many temples
in which sacrifices were made to appease the
gods
Religion, philosophy and magic were practiced
(cid:1)
together in most temples
The following pioneers contributed to the
(cid:1)
current understanding in anatomy and
physiology disciplines:
Part I: Introduction
Definition
Hippocrates(377BC) believed that diseases developed
(cid:1)
from natural causes, thus he separated medicine from
the religion and philosophy. Hippocrates is considered
by some as the father of medicine.
Galen (130-201AD) was a famous Greek writer whose
(cid:1)
opinion on anatomy and medicine, was highly valued.
His writings were considered to contain many fallacies
because of his religious belief, which biased his
scientific opinion
In addition, he did not have any practical experience
(cid:1)
dissecting human specimen; therefore, he draws
conclusions from the studies of other philosophers
Part I: Introduction
Definition
Andreas Vesalius(1514-64) was among the
(cid:1)
first few to perform dissections on humans.
His writings negated many of the established
views of Galen and created controversies.
Vesalius was considered the father of
anatomy
William Harvey, considered the father of
(cid:1)
physiology confirmed some the findings of
Vesalius, but also showed that blood flow
only one-way in a vessel rather than two-way
as previously proposed by Galen
