  • Anatomy is the study of living organisms, including humans, animals, and plants, and their structures. It involves examining the parts and organs of the body and how they are organized.
  • Physiology is the study of the functions of living organisms. It focuses on how the various parts of an organism work together to maintain life and carry out essential processes. 

Anatomy and physiology can be challenging, especially for those without a strong foundation in biology or chemistry. However, with consistent effort, dedication, and effective study techniques, overcoming difficulties and achieving success in these subjects is possible.

Anatomy is a vast field with numerous subdisciplines. Here are some of the main subjects of anatomy: 

  • Gross anatomy 
  • Microscopic anatomy (histology) 
  • Developmental anatomy (embryology) 
  • Comparative anatomy
  • Topographic anatomy 
  • Surface anatomy
  • Regional anatomy
  • Systemic anatomy

The course is self-paced to help you learn everything at your ease. However, the estimated completion time is 3-6 months.
