Physiology is the study of how the body functions in health and disease. To understand physiology, one must also master basic anatomy, so most courses combine Anatomy and Physiology. The information provided here and in QBReview includes the anatomy needed to understand the physiology. I also provide pictures and links to freely available tools to test your knowledge of the names of muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves.
