Overview
Two of the most fundamental concepts and fields of study in the biological sciences are anatomy and physiology. Physiology is the study of how those structures work, whereas anatomy deals with the interior and external structures of the body and their physical interactions. In this chapter, anatomy and physiology are defined along with their significance to biomedical engineering.
The axial and appendicular portions of the human body are the two primary divisions. The head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis make up the axial part, while the upper and lower extremities make up the appendicular component. The lower extremities are the hips, thighs, lower legs, ankles, and feet, whereas the upper extremities are the shoulders, upper arms, forearms, wrists, and hands.
The area of the abdomen might be further divided into four quadrants or nine areas. Furthermore, it has been explored how the plasma membrane regulates the volume and internal concentrations of a cell, as well as the main categories of organic molecules and other components contained in cells.
