What is the science dealing with the structure of the body and the relation of its parts?

• A. Tissue
• B. Cell
• C. Physiology
• D. Anatomy

Answer: (A)

Anatomy is the study of the body's form and how its parts fit together. It covers the arrangement and relationships of structures from the whole body down to the microscopic level, including gross anatomy (what you can see with the naked eye) and histology (tocusing on tissues). This makes anatomy the best fit for a question about the science that deals with structure and the relation of body parts. Tissues are a basic organizational level—groups of similar cells forming a tissue—so they describe a component studied within anatomy, not the field itself. Physiology, by contrast, focuses on how those structures function.
