In your own words, explain how these ideas tie together the anatomy and physiology disciplines. NOTE: there is not really a wrong answer here as long as you are thoughtful, nor do you need to write for pages and pages. Address each of the three areas with a brief definition in your own words, and then give a few sentences on how they are tied together.arrow_forwardIn your opinion, what is the most important internal organ of the human body and why?
