Ch. 1 Introduction - Anatomy and Physiology | OpenStax
This chapter begins with an overview of anatomy and physiology and a preview of the body regions and functions. It then covers the characteristics of life and how the body works to maintain stable conditions.
1.1 Overview of Anatomy and Physiology - OpenStax
Whereas anatomy is about structure, physiology is about function. Human physiology is the scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body and the ways in which they work together to support the functions of life.

1.6 Anatomical Terminology - Anatomy and Physiology 2e
There are three planes commonly referred to in anatomy and medicine, as illustrated in Figure 1.14. The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides.
Ch. 1 Chapter Review - Anatomy and Physiology | OpenStax
Human physiology is the scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body. Physiology explains how the structures of the body work together to maintain life. It is difficult to study structure (anatomy) without knowledge of function (physiology).
