Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body
In this lesson on anatomy and physiology, we will discuss the relationship between these two subjects. While they can be studied separately, I believe they are best understood when studied together. Anatomy focuses on the form, structure, and location of bodily parts. For example, let's consider the pericardium, which is the sac that surrounds the heart. The term "pericardium" is derived from "cardia" or "cartium," which means heart, and "per" which usually means around or surrounding. The pericardium is made of connective tissue and is slightly larger than the heart itself. It is located right here, providing some anatomical facts about the pericardial sac. On the other hand, physiology is more concerned with the function of bodily parts and the processes involved. It explores how different organs are connected and what each organ is doing in relation to others. Taking the pericardium as an example again, it serves as a protective and lubricating layer for the heart. The fluid inside the sac acts as lubrication for the beating heart, similar to how oil is necessary for the proper functioning of moving engine parts. The pericardial sac plays a vital role in maintaining the health and function of the heart.

Anatomy and Physiology of Urinary System
Anatomy and Physiology of Urinary System Welcome back to Educator.com! In this lesson, we will be discussing the urinary system. The functions of the urinary system go beyond simply producing and eliminating urine. While that is its primary function, it also plays a crucial role in removing metabolic wastes from your bodily fluids. Solid waste, on the other hand, is part of the digestive system and is eliminated through fecal matter. The urinary system primarily focuses on filtering blood and eliminating metabolic wastes.
