Answer preview

• Anatomy is a field of study dedicated to understanding the structure of the body and the relations between different tissues and organs. Physiology, on the other hand, refers to how different parts of the body function, either independently or in conjunction with other components. In this regard, anatomy and physiology form the basis of human biology by facilitating the structural composition of the body and its functional aspects.(1745words)
