anatomy simple definition
functional anatomy, morphophysiology, physiological anatomy-the study of anatomy in its relation to function. gross anatomy, macroscopic anatomy-the study of the structure of the body and its parts without the use of a microscope. Anatomy. Definition. noun. (1) The science concerned with the shape, structure and the relationship of parts of organisms. (2) The bodily structure of an organism or of any of its parts. Supplement. Anatomy is the branch of biology that focuses on the structure of living things. It includes human anatomy, zootomy and phytotomy. It is subdivided into gross anatomy (or macroscopic anatomy) and microscopic anatomy. 1. (Anatomy) the science concerned with the physical structure of animals and plants. 2. (Anatomy) the physical structure of an animal or plant or any of its parts. 3. (Anatomy) a book or treatise on this subject. 4. (Anatomy) dissection of an animal or plant. 5. any detailed analysis: the anatomy of a crime. Definition of Pharynx. The pharynx is the body cavity that connects the nasal and oral cavities with the larynx and esophagus. It is commonly referred to as the throat. The pharynx is part of both the digestive and respiratory systems. For the digestive system, its muscular walls function in the process of swallowing and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus. The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. The pharynx is an anatomical structure that functions in both respiration and digestion in the human body. In this lesson we will investigate the anatomy and physiology of the pharynx to gain an understanding of its importance and how it works.
