anatomy vs. physiology

[ilynurses]

i'm taking anatomy and physiology separately this summer. which class should i take first?

i've heard that its more logical to take anatomy first, but i've also heard that there are concepts that you learn in physio, that you apply to anatomy. help!

You will find it easier to do physiology if you already know the info from anatomy. Logical to study structure and then function.

I agree...you gotta know what the parts are before you know how they work.

if you did decide to take physiology first, anatomy would be cake walk.

I agree. Anatomy first then Physiology.

I took anatomy last semester and I'm taking physio this semester. [i'm actually supposed to be studying for a physio test now, haha.] I'm really glad I took anatomy first. We don't cover a lot of the anatomy of systems in lecture, so it really helps me that I already know how all the organs/systems are set up.

i couldnt imagine having these classes seperate..thats why im glad that we have them combined..but if i had to have them seperate id do physiology before, because like another post, anatomy would be suuper easy.

Form then function.

What then how.

Anatomy then physiology.
