"Anatomy and Physiology are the sciences of the structure and
function of living organisms. The origin of Anatomy and Physiology
can be traced back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece,
with Hippocrates and Aristotle at the forefront and, perhaps, the most
inspirational proponents of these sciences. It is work by these scientists
that emphasized intrinsic mutual relationships existing between studies
of Anatomy and Physiology and the practice of medicine.
During the centuries of steady progress marked by the discoveries
of Galen, Versalius, Harvey, Bernard, Sherrington, and many other
exceptional scientists, the field of Anatomy and Physiology has diverged
and extended to include the study of the developmental, comparative,
ecological, and evolutionary aspects of the structure/function
relationship. As a result of this, the study of physiology encompasses
numerous areas of biological sciences. Furthermore, physiology collects
and interprets all molecular, cellular, tissue and organ-based biological
events in order to provide an integral view of animal and human body
function. The development of new pharmaceuticals and novel methods
of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease would be crippled
without the remarkable collection of insight and systemic knowledge
provided by the physiology. However, an encyclopedic knowledge of
physiology is progressively becoming more difficult to achieve due
the overwhelming amount of observations being introduced via the
refinement of highly sophisticated biological methods and tools. There
is no simple solution to this problem. Creating the infrastructure for
the rapid exchange of peer-reviewed information however, appears as
critical condition of the well aligned with requirements of the modern
era science and medicine progress of the Anatomy and Physiology.
